Add Property Pages

The Custom Operator Settings tab includes the standard base operator properties. These settings correspond to the parameters found on the Properties palette in the Process Designer. Use the Properties palette to configure the custom operator’s base properties and the custom properties that you assign to it.

A custom operator may require additional parameters as input into the function of the operator. You can add property pages to group these additional parameters. When you add pages to the custom operator on the Form tab, they appear as expandable sections in the Properties palette of the Process Designer.

Follow these steps:

1. In the Library Browser, double-click a custom operator.
2. In the toolbar, click Check Out.
3. In the Custom Operator designer window, click the Form tab.
4. In the Form Elements pane, expand all of the following:
   1. Form Elements
   2. Page Layout under Form Elements
   3. Page Layout under your custom operator
5. Drag a Page element from the Form Elements Page Layout down to the Page Layout level for your custom operator.
6. Click the new page and then click Rename in the toolbar. Rename the new page to a meaningful identifier.

   Each page name corresponds to a named expandable section in the Custom Operator Properties palette in the Process Designer.

7. The order of the pages in the Properties palette also corresponds to the order shown on the Form tab. Select a page and click Move Up or Move Down from the toolbar to move the page up or down in the list.

To remove a property page including all parameters:

1. Select the page.
2. In the toolbar, click Delete.
