Dialog Edit function data

This dialog displays the data of the highlighted functions / connections in a table where it can be edited.

Note:

If you modify the selection while the dialog is open, you must update the display in the dialog via the Edit in table popup menu item.

Overview of the main dialog elements:

The Functions tab displays the properties of the highlighted functions.

The Connections tab displays the properties of the highlighted connections. This takes into account all connection definition points that have been placed on the connection. If different values have been entered for a property on the connection and the associated connection definition points, the value of the graphically first connection definition point is displayed for which this property has already been filled.

Scheme:

Select an existing scheme from the drop-down list which will specify the column configuration. Select separate schemes for functions and connections. Click [...] to open the Settings: Edit in table dialog which you can use to define or edit a scheme.

Table:

The columns defined in the selected scheme will show in the table. Certain data are only displayed here (the fields are then grayed out), and others can be edited. Each highlighted function / connection is displayed in a separate line.

Notes:

Tab Functions:

You can edit the entries in the Name visible column to (e.g.) change the identifier letter and counter of devices. The entire entry may never be deleted, however.
If you change any entries here, the automatic DT syntax check will be carried out as in the Properties <...> dialog.

Tab Connections:

Whether the data displayed in a line comes only from the connection, or also from associated connection definition points, can be seen in the Connection definition point exists column. If at least one connection definition point has been placed on the connection, the check box will be activated.
If you modify the value of a connection property on the Connections tab, this changed value will be carried over both to the connection and to all associated connection definition points where the property was filled. Empty properties are not overwritten.
If the connection does not have connection definition points, and you modify the value of a property, a connection definition point will be placed automatically, and the property value will be entered there.

Tip:

In the Connections tab, if you show the Cable connection column, you can see immediately which connections belong to a cable. Usually, cables should be edited only via the Functions tab.

The popup menu provides - depending on the field type (date, integer, multilingual, etc.) - the following menu items:
