| Variable |
If on, the tag value is variable. Unless Default is also on, the Attach Tags dialog will open when the
Attach Tags
is used, for keying in the value for the tag. If Variable is off, the default value is considered constant and cannot be changed when the tag is attached. The only way to change the value of a tag for which Variable is off is to edit the default value and apply it to subsequent instances of the tag. By default Variable is on. |
| Default |
If on, the tag will be automatically attached with the default value when the
Attach Tags
is used. If Default Value is not set, the tag will be automatically attached with the value of NULL for character data or 0 for numeric data. By default, Default is off. |
| Confirm |
If on, an alert box opens when the
Attach Tags
is used for confirming the tag value keyed in the Tag Value dialog. By default Confirm is off. |
| Default Tag Value |
Sets the default value for the tag. |
| Display Tag |
If off, the tag will not be displayed in views. This is useful for fast displays or for associating non-visual information with a tag. By default Display Tag is on. |
| Reset |
Resets tag settings to their default or defined values. |
