Setting element attributes

Many of the OpenDDS modeling elements have attributes for you to set. To set an attribute, after the attribute is selected, click on it and enter the value for it. The steps are shown below, using a QoS Policy as an example.

Create the element. For example, double-click on the element in the Palette. This will put the element with undefined attributes on it (in this example, the policy name and value):

Attribute undefined

To set the value attribute, first select it. (It may be necessary to first click somewhere outside the figure to have it un-selected, and then re-select the figure.)

Attribute selected

Now click on the attribute and an input box will appear allowing you to type in the attribute value. The name of the attribute will temporarily disappear while you are editing.

Attribute editing

After editing you should see the name of the attribute followed by it's value:

Attribute defined
