8.2 General Object Editing Activities
The following editing activities apply for all types of configuration objects and
project elements.
Adding an Object
To add an object, click on an item (protocol driver or Node, for example) in the
Project panel. Any available objects for that item will be listed in the Available
Objects panel (the panel title depends on the currently-selected item). An object
can then be added to the item by:
•
Double-clicking on it.
Right-clicking on it and choosing Add from the context-sensitive menu.
•
Hitting the <ENTER> key on the keyboard when the object is selected.
•
Dragging it into the Project panel.
•
Selecting it and selecting Add Selected Device from the Edit menu.
•
Selecting it and clicking the Add button in the toolbar.
•
The object's configurable fields can then be populated with valid values (where
applicable).
Viewing an Object
In the Project panel, select a parent object to display a summary of all its child
objects. For example, selecting a protocol driver will display the driver's
configuration in the Summary panel and list of current objects in the Object List
panel.
Updating an Object
To update an object, select the object in the Project panel and make any
required changes in the Settings panel.
Deleting an Object
An object can be deleted by performing one of the following actions:
Selecting the object in the Project panel and dragging it. A trash can icon
•
will appear at the bottom of the Project panel, and dragging the object to the
trash will then delete it from the project.
Hitting the <DELETE> key on the keyboard when the object is selected in
•
the Project panel.
Right-clicking on the object in the Project panel and choosing Remove from
•
the context-sensitive menu.
Selecting Remove Selected Item from the Edit menu when the object is
•
selected.
Clicking on the Remove button in the toolbar when the object is selected.
•
Note that this action cannot be undone. Deleting an object will also delete all of
its child objects.
