User defined Attributes

User defined attributes must first be defined and then they can be inserted to the project. The definition dialogue comes out of My Add Data dialogue. The user defines the String database, parameters, picture and icon. The pre-defined attributes appear in the new service menu – Attributes. The attribute can be inserted to the project from here .

The attribute definition:

When at least one attribute is defined a new service in main tree appears:

In this service also the Attributes Definition dialogue is available.

The name of the service for a new attribute is set in the dialogue as Service name (example – Input of Attribute …) and to this name from string database is connected the name of the attribute in row Name in the Attribute definition (example – coins, face…).

It is much quicker to use an Attribute wizard for the definition.
