Understand how to view attributes

You can show attributes in worksheet rows or columns.

If you show attributes in worksheet rows (see Show attributes in rows), the worksheet includes a row for each attribute. Rows that correspond to attributes contain the name of the parent element in the Parent column. For example, the following worksheet contains an element named MixHopper, which has an attribute named Level; the worksheet shows that attribute in a separate row.

If you show attributes in worksheet columns (see Show attributes in columns), the worksheet adds columns for the attributes. Those column names contain the pipe symbol followed by the attribute name. Cells in an attribute column show the attribute value or the attribute-configuration string (see Data references in attribute columns) in the row of the attribute's parent element. For example, the following worksheet has the MixHopper element and shows the Level attribute in a column. The column name is |Level and the value is 362.

You can combine the two methods, and show attributes in rows and columns (see Show attributes in rows and columns). For example, the following worksheet has the MixHopper element and shows the Level attribute in both a column and a row.
