Creating user-defined attributes for scenario management objects

You can create user-defined attributes for the objects modifications, scenarios, and procedure parameter sets (Managing user-defined attributes). These are useful, for example, to group or aggregate scenarios and for managing large projects.

1.  Make sure that the desired project is open (Editing basic settings of the project).

2.  In the Edit project window, click the User-def. attributes tab.

3.  Then click the  Create user-defined attribute symbol.

The Create user-defined attribute window opens.

4.  Select the object from the list, for which you want to define a user-defined attribute.

5.  Confirm with OK.

6.  In the Create user-defined attribute window, make the settings of your choice (Creating a user-defined attribute).

7.  Confirm with OK.

The new attribute is listed on the User-def. attributes tab and on the tab of the corresponding object and saved in the project database.

Tip: Alternatively, you can also create user-defined attributes using the symbol on the tab of the required object.

Notes: You can use the symbols at the bottom left of the window to edit or delete the attributes you have created and to define the column selection.

All user-defined attributes are transferred automatically during the Export partial project (Exporting a partial project) operation.

The Integrate project (Integrating a project) operation sets the values of user-defined attributes for imported objects. For user-defined attributes that exist in the source project but not in the target project, a new user-defined attribute is created in the target project.
