Associate content with a choice or option

In most cases, you will have added content to the object prior to adding the Object Wizard. Once you have begun configuring the Object Wizard, you can associate the following types of content with Object Wizard Choices and Options:

• Attributes: shown in the Attributes pane

• Graphics: shown in the Content pane

• External Content Objects: shown in the Content pane

• .NET Controls: shown in the Content pane

• Scripts: shown in the Scripts pane

To associate content with a Choice or Option:

1. Highlight a Choice or Option in the Choices and Options pane.

2. Select and drag one or more item from the Attributes, Content, or Scripts pane to the Associations pane. Use the Shift or Ctrl key to select multiple items in a single pane.

   

   Note: Individual items can be associated with more than one Choice or Option. However, a Choice or Option does not have to have any items (attributes, etc.) associated with it. For example, a Choice labeled "No" or None" typically would not have any content associated with it.

   Note: A content item (attribute, graphic, layout, etc.) does not have to be associated with an Object Wizard Choice or Option. Unassociated items are simply a part of the object and are propagated to all derived objects.

3. If applicable, highlight an attribute or graphic and enter overrides for the default values. The overrides affect only the Choice or Option for which they are entered. For example, a graphic can have one label for one Choice, and a different label for another. The override applies only to the associated Choice or Option. See Attribute and graphic overrides for additional information.

   Note: You can resize columns in the Settings pane by selecting the column header and moving its edges to widen or narrow the column.

4. If applicable, override the default trimming setting for each associated item.

   • Trimming is disabled by default for graphics, layouts, and external content (checkbox is unchecked).

   • Trimming is enabled by default for attributes (checkbox is checked).

   • Trimming is enabled for scripts and cannot be disabled.

   • Note that the trimming defaults for graphics and attributes are different. See Object wizard trimming for additional information.
