Configuring the Display of Attributes

An attribute is any single value property. To enable the display of an attribute, click the Add Attributes tool, select attributes or extended attributes to display, and click OK.



Click on an attribute in the list to set the following options:

Option Description
Label Specifies a label to use in the Display Preferences dialog in place of the attribute's name.
Prefix/Suffix [text items] Insert a prefix and suffix before and after the value of the attribute.
Alignment [text items] Specifies the alignment of the text.
True/False [booleans] Specifies a value to display for true and false. For example, for an attribute Annotated, you could specify Annotated and Not Annotated for true and false. By default, boolean properties are displayed if they are true and do not appear if they are false.
Mandatory Specifies that the attribute must be displayed on the symbol, and is not available for deselection in the Display Preferences dialog.
