Properties
Table
The Properties table lists the property values of the
selected record(s) in Objects list. New properties are displayed in green,
Modified in blue, and deleted properties in red.
When multiple objects are selected, only the properties
common to each selected object is displayed in the Properties grid and the text
is displayed in an italic font as shown:
The toolbar options and filtering options operate the same
as the Objects table. See above for details.
Browsing
The Differencing Control can also be used for browsing
from one object (or set of objects) to another.
Property table relationship values (in the New Value or
Old Value columns) that are underlined are hyperlinks which can be used to
"browse" to a new set of objects. Clicking on a hyperlink will replace the
current set of objects in the Objects table with the new set and will select
all the new objects so their properties can be immediately viewed. Object
filters are disabled when in this mode.
For example, if you click on the value hyperlink for the
Unit Has Named Item relationship shown above it will display all of the objects
which has a value defined for this relationship in the Objects table:
You can individually select objects from this list to
display the property values. The Home
icon will return you to the
default set of Objects while the Back one Step
icon will return you to the
previous set of objects which was displayed.
