Attachment Levels

When you apply device user source to a device design property, it is said to be attached. The word property in this case refers to a specific instance of a device, screen, report, format, or entry. You can specify the attachment of device user source to the following types (levels) of device design properties:

• Device (device-level attachment)
• Screen/Report (screen- or report-level attachment)
• Format (format-level attachment)
• Entry (entry-level attachment)

Multiple device user source functions can be attached to a property. However, a specific device user function can be attached to a given property only once.

The term extent is used to refer to the set of source statements that describe a device design property in the generated source member.
