16 Managing Attribute Groups for a Project

You can group attributes within each project data view in order to organize the information.

• About attribute groups and the Attribute Groups page
  Attribute groups are used to group attributes within a view. For example, for a view containing sales information, one group might contain attribute related to the payment (credit card type, cost, billing address) and another group might contain attributes related to the shipping (shipping address, shipping company, shipping cost).
• About groups for linked views
  Studio automatically creates a linked view for each linked data set. For each linked view, Studio also creates a default set of attribute groups.
• Displaying the groups for a selected view
  When the Attribute Groups page is first displayed, the groups for the first base view are displayed by default. You can then change the selected view.
• Displaying attribute information for a group
  For each group on the Attribute Groups page, you can display a list of attributes and attribute metadata.
• Creating an attribute group
  When you create a group, you give the group a name, select default options for how the group is used, and then select the attributes that belong to the group.
• Deleting an attribute group
  From the Attribute Groups page, you can delete attribute groups.
• Configuring an attribute group
  From the Attribute Groups page, for each group, you can configure the display name, the group membership, and the attribute display order.
• Saving the attribute group configuration and reloading the attribute group cache
  Changes to the group configuration do not become permanent until you save them. To immediately reflect the saved group configuration changes on the project components, reload the attribute group cache.
