Assign Model UDP Values

After you create user-defined properties (UDPs) for a model in the UDP Dictionary dialog, you can specify property values for the model in the UDP tab in the Model Properties dialog.

To assign model UDP values

1. Click Model Properties on the Model menu.

   The Model Properties dialog opens, on the General tab.

2. Click the UDP tab and select from the following choices:

   Property

   Displays the name of the user-defined property. When you point to the property name, the UDP description displays in a ToolTip.

   Value

   Specifies the current value assigned to the UDP. You can perform any of the following actions to change the value:

   • Enter the property value in the Value text box for Integer, Real Number, and Text datatypes.
   • Enter a date value; or click the spin option button to change the month, day, and year; or click the calendar button to select a date on the drop-down calendar for the Date datatype.
   • Select a value from the Value list for the List datatype. For example, you can add a UDP for a table to select a backup frequency such as daily from the Value list.
   • Enter a system command or click the button to browse for a file or executable program for the Command datatype. For example, you can enter or select C:\Myfile.doc to launch the Microsoft Word document Myfile.doc.

   Click OK.

   Your selections are saved and the Model Properties dialog closes.

Note: You can create a new UDP from this dialog. Click to open the User Defined Properties dialog.
