Dialog Placeholder objects

All placeholder objects in the project are listed in this dialog. You can use the popup menu to edit the properties of the placeholder objects and assign value sets to them.

Overview of the main dialog elements:

The placeholder objects are displayed in the Tree tab sorted hierarchically according to "<Name>" and "Placement (<Description>)". (This the case for the default configuration.) In the process placeholder objects with the same name are combined.

Note:

In contrast to the name that is identifying and is therefore not multilingual, the description can be used for additional information that can also be displayed in a foreign language. The corresponding multi-language text is entered in the Placeholder object tab.

In the List tab, the name, description, placement and most recently selected value set are displayed as standard. The displayed properties can be configured using the popup menu.

Filter:

This drop-down list displays all the available filters. A selected filter is automatically activated and is applied to both the tree and the list view. The "- Not activated -" entry deactivates the filter and causes an unfiltered display of the data. Click [...] to open the Filter dialog. Here you can create, edit, delete, copy, export, import, and manage filters.

The popup menu of the Filter drop-down list contains the following entries:

Deactivate: This popup menu item is available if a filter has been set: Resets the filter setting to the "- Not activated -" entry.
Activate <filter name>: This popup menu item is available if the filter setting is "- Not activated -": Reactivates the last active filter.

This allows you to toggle rapidly between the unfiltered representation and a representation filtered in accordance with your requirements.

Value: <Property>:

Use this field, via Quick input, to adjust quickly the value of a filter criterion for a defined and activated filter.
