Create a User Defined Attribute Group

If multiple elements of a similar type are to be created in the dictionary database then groups can be used to simplify navigation of the database hierarchy.

A User Defined Attribute Group (UGROUP) element must be created below a User Defined Attribute World (UWRLD) element. To create a UGROUP element, on the Home tab, in the Create group, select Create from the displayed drop-down list select UGROUP: User defined attribute group. A UGROUP element is created and displayed in the Dictionary Explorer.

When a new element is created in the dictionary hierarchy using the Dictionary Explorer and if the Current Element Editor window is open, it automatically updates to display the default attributes for that element.

Note: If the Current Element Editor window is not open, right-click in any Explorer window and select Current Element Editor.

After the creation of a new UGROUP element, use the Current Element Editor window to populate the attributes in the Current Element Editor.

The Dictionary Explorer automatically updates to display the specified name for the element.
