Creating Characteristics from the Specification Editor

When working in a Specification editor, you can create new data elements that are automatically tagged as characteristics.

To create a characteristic from a Specification editor:

  1. Create a new specification or open an existing specification in the Specification editor.

    See "Creating New Specifications" for more information.

  2. Click the Characteristics tab.

  3. In the data tree area, right-click and select Add Characteristic.

    The Create Characteristic dialog box appears.

  4. Select Create new element and then click Next

    The Common Details dialog box appears. From this point, the procedure is the same as that for other simple data elements. See “Creating New Simple Data Elements".
