User Defined Attributes

User defined attributes

User defined attributes can be specified in the component or layout Dashboard.

There are four main types of use defined attributes.

Type		Description	Remark
Boolean		An attribute that has either the value True or False.	The value is set True by pressing the value button
Integer		An integer number of different magnitudes. For each magnitude the unit is set and displayed automatically.	A drop down list is available to specify the required magnitude
String		A text based attribute.
Float		A real number of different magnitudes. For each magnitude the unit is set and displayed automatically.	A drop down list, same as for the integer attribute, is available to specify the specific magnitude.

The user defined attribute can be added by clicking on the attribute type button. The attribute will be added to the list and is given a default name and value. Selecting the name or value enables to modify it.
