View/Edit Attribute Derivation Rules

When diagrams are imported, the values of attributes may be automatically set according to user-defined rules, known as Attribute Derivation Rules. There are no default rules shipped with Schematic Model Manager.

To view or edit Attribute Derivation Rules, select Tools > Attribute Derivation Rules from the main menu to display the Attribute Derivation Rules window.

Rules are grouped into rule groups. Rule groups may contain both rules and other rule groups. The left-hand pane of the dialog displays all existing rules and rules groups. All rules and groups are grouped under a node called Attribute Processing Rules.

The currently selected element is displayed in bold. Details of the currently selected element are displayed in the right-hand pane.

Rules that are not selected to be applied during import are "greyed out" (see below).

Invalid rules are displayed in red text.

Select OK to close the dialog and save any changes that have been made. Click the Cancel option to close the dialog without saving changes.
