Overriding Characteristic Default Values

To override default values of characteristics:

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

   See "Creating New Specifications" for more information.

2. Click the Layouts tab.

3. In the Page/Panels field, select a page type for the specification.

   You can define different attributes for a characteristic when it appears on different types of pages. For example, you can define an edit mask for the characteristic when it appears on an edit page and a display mask for the same characteristic when it appears on a summary page.

   Note:

   The options available in the Page/Panels field are defined in the ora_uim_mds project. You must import and open this project and the ora_uim_model project in your workspace before modeling UIM entities in Design Studio.

4. In the Panels/Element area, select a characteristic in the Select column.

   The characteristic attribute fields appear in the UI Settings area. The fields that appear are determined by the value in the Control Type field.

5. Specify override values for the characteristic.

   The values that you define here override the values defined for the characteristic at the data schema level. See “Settings Tab" for information about the fields that appear in the UI Settings area.

6. From the File menu, select Save.
