Customizing an Object Property Sheet Tab

The PowerDesigner interface includes a standard property sheet for each type of object. To quickly customize a property sheet tab, click the menu button, and select Customize This Tab. The customized tab is immediately available on all objects of this type.

Note: The definition of the customized tab is stored in a PowerDesigner extension file. For detailed information about working with these files, see Customizing and Extending PowerDesigner > Extension Files.
  1. Open the property sheet of the object whose property sheet you want to customize, select the tab to change, click the menu button, and select Customize this Tab.
  2. [optional] Modify the Name that will be displayed as the tab name.
  3. Use the Add Attribute and Add Collection tools in the Form tab toolbar to add new properties to your form. You can reorder controls in the form control tree by dragging and dropping them.
    For detailed information about these and other form tools and properties click the Help button, or see Customizing and Extending PowerDesigner > Extension Files > Forms (Profile).
  4. Click OK to close the dialog and return to the modified property sheet.
