Show attributes in rows

Worksheets can include rows for each attribute of an element. To show attributes in rows, select the Attribute group when you retrieve elements into the worksheet.

Prerequisite: Select an element or elements to retrieve and open the Select Object Types and Column Headers window:

• Retrieve all elements

• Retrieve elements by browsing

• Retrieve elements by searching

1. In the Select Object Types and Column Headers window, from the Object Types list, expand the Attribute group.

2. Select the attribute-specific columns that you want to include in the worksheet, such as value, type, and so on. See List of attribute-specific column headings.

   Alternatively, to show attributes in rows but not include any attribute-specific columns, select the Attribute group check box and clear the check boxes for the attribute-specific columns. When the Attribute group check box is selected, PI Builder shows attributes in rows.

3. Select any other columns you also want to include in the worksheet.

4. Click OK.

   PI Builder adds the selected column headers to the worksheet and retrieves the previously selected elements. The attributes of the retrieved elements appear in rows in the worksheet.
