VisualBuild Object options

The Select Object Options page consists of three columns for Asset Properties, configuration (Configure), and settings (Refine).

The Asset Properties column contains settings for:

• Instance name (what the instance will be named within the Galaxy). The instance name is the object's tagname, and can be up to 32 alphanumeric characters, with at least one letter and no spaces. $ cannot be used as the first character.

• Description (of the instance). There are no restrictions on the length or characters in the description.

• Parent area: This is a drop-down selection that lets you move the instance to the appropriate area of the Galaxy.

The Configure column contains object property selections, arranged as a series of prompts with drop-down answers. Start at the top and work down to the end. As you make selections, additional prompts may appear in the Configure area (always below the current prompt).

The Refine column contains additional settings that you can set. Typically, the settings will include things like upper and lower limits for scaling and alarms, on/off settings, or other items that further define settings that were selected in the Configure column. Some configurations do not contain any settings under the Refine column.
