Creating, Removing, and Ordering View Attributes

While creating a view object with the View Object Wizard or editing a view object in the View Object Editor, use the Attributes page to specify the entity object attributes included in a view object.

Available

This list shows the entity objects and their persistent attributes. (To choose entity objects, use the previous entity objects panel.) Click the attributes to select them and use the shuttle buttons to move them to the Selected list. Control-click to select multiple items. If you select and move a root node, all the attributes under that node will be inserted into the Selected list. As the attributes are moved, unique view object attribute names are assigned.

Selected

The Selected list shows the attributes that will be made available to this view object. To remove an object from the list, click its name and click the left arrow. To remove all selected attributes, click the double left arrow.

New

Click New to define a new calculated attribute using the Define New View Attribute dialog box. After you create this attribute it will appear at the end of the Selected list.

Arrow Buttons

Use the arrow buttons to reorder the selected attributes.

 

To delete a view attribute that is not based on an entity attribute:

  1. Select the attribute in the Selected list.

  2. Click <.

    The attribute is deleted.
