Modify an attribute value

You can only modify attribute values if you have the proper privileges and the attribute is writable. Check the Category value in the details pane for the attribute you want to modify. You cannot modify Calculated and SystemWriteable attributes.

Some attribute values affected by the changed attribute are updated only after you select the attribute. For example, an object’s ScanStateCmd controls the object’s scan state, with True being OnScan, False being OffScan. The object also has a ScanState attribute that indicates the current scan state of the object.

Assuming ScanStateCmd and ScanState are False, change ScanStateCmd to True. Notice that the object’s ScanState attribute value remains False. Select the ScanState attribute. Its value changes to True.

To modify an attribute value

1. Select the object that contains the attribute you want to change.

2. Right-click the attribute and select Modify. A Modify <data type> Value dialog boxes appears, related to the data type for the selected attribute.

   

3. Modify the values as needed.

4. Select Apply, then OK. The new value appears in the Value column of the details pane for that attribute.
