Assigning Attributes to Objects
Associate defined attributes with one or more objects (database views) to create object attributes.
Note: Uniform Resource Locator (URL) attributes must be object attributes.
Note: If you are updating existing assignments and you change a long label, you are prompted if you want to change the label for all related object attributes and region items. If you choose OK, all related labels are changed.
Prerequisites
Define objects.
Define the attributes to assign to objects.
To assign attributes to objects:
1. Navigate to the Object Attributes folder window.
2. Select an existing attribute name to assign to an object.
3. Optionally, select a database view column name corresponding to the object attribute.
4. Enter a long label for the object attribute. The default is the label used when the attribute was defined, but can be overridden.
Note: The remaining data in the Object Attributes folder window defaults from when you defined the attribute. You may override these defaults.
5. Choose the Create Attributes button to create additional attributes.
To assign multiple regions:
