When a symbol is selected, its parameters are displayed
in the Property Sheet pane. When you select more than one symbol,
only the parameters common to the selected symbols are displayed.
A symbol has three property columns:
Parameter: the name of the parameter
as defined in the Symbol Editor.
Mapping: the name of the model object
property used to enter data into the symbol.
Value: the current value of the parameter.
To change the value of a parameter:
-
Select the parameter to be changed in the Property Sheet
pane.
-
Click the Value field
for the parameter you want to update.
-
Type the new value in the Value field.
-
-
Press Ctrl+S to save the changes made to the dashboard
diagram.
The symbol bound to the parameter changes according to
the changes to parameter values.
Change the Mapping field
in the Property Sheet to the name of an external variable used to
change the value of a parameter.
For more information about parameters in symbols, see Using the Symbol Editor in Developing with Design Tools.
Note
You can only set the value of symbol parameters in the
Dashboard Editor. To edit symbols you must use Rogue Wave® JViews Symbol Editor.
