Inserting a Component

To insert a component in a table:

  1. Select a row in the Components Table above which you wish to insert a row.
  2. Click Insert to insert a new row above the selected row.

    Note: You can also add a row to the Components Table by double-clicking the next available row and entering relevant details.

  3. Double-click the cell in the Component column of the new row and select the desired component type from the Component drop-down list.
  4. If applicable, double-click the Name cell of the new row and select the specific object to be displayed. The pop-up list shows relevant objects according to the selected component type. You can also choose to create a new object of the selected type.
  5. As you select the object, a default label, based on the object name, is automatically entered in the Label cell.
  6. Double-click the Label cell if you want to change the default label.
  7. If you want to define the component as required, check the * cell. If you want to define the component as read-only, check the (-) cell.
  8. Select a Data as of version. The default Data as of is < User-selected > which enables the user to define the version or date of the data shown in the component. Selecting a specific version will disable the option of user selection.
  9. For Category related components, click to check the Reference, Indicator, or Annotation cells to display their respective fields alongside the category.
  10. When the Edit button is enabled, additional properties of the selected component can be defined.
  11. Enter or edit the description of the category component in the Description of field. A description can be set for the following components: Category, and Cat. (text area).
  12. If you want to add a prompt, enter the required text in the Prompt field. After the text is entered, a check mark appears in the table's Prompt cell. The prompt will be shown next to category related components, set in a smaller font. You can use a prompt to explain specific components. A prompt can be set for the following components: Category, Cat. (text area), Item name, Item Parent, Graph and Transfer Tool.

    Note: If a prompt is too long to fit in a group box, adjust the width of the group box. You may also increase the height of the text box to allow additional prompt text to fit beside it. For information on group box sizing, refer to Group Box Rows.
