Attaching Device User Source to a Field

This example shows how to attach device user source to a field, which is then inherited by all device entries derived from this field.

1. Go to the Edit Field Details panel for the field to which the device function is to be attached. In this example, Edit Horse.

   Press F11 to display the Field-Level Device Functions panel. Use this panel to attach device user source to a field.

   

   Press F9 to display the Attach Device Function window. Specify the device user function just created for the Horse name field and press Enter.

   

   The Field-level Device Functions panel redisplays showing the attached device user function.

   

   The sequence numbers specify the order in which the device user source is applied to the field. Field-level sequence numbers are:

   • Integers from 1 to 999
   • Incremented by 10 when automatically assigned
2. Press F3 to exit. The device user source is now implicitly attached to derived entries for the Horse name field on all device designs.

   Note: If a device user function is already attached at the entry level when you attach the same function at the field level, the field-level attachment for that entry is effectively ignored.
