Component in Object Properties

After selecting a component, the Object Properties window shows four sections:

• section with a slot list (the Main tab);
• section with a list of outgoing or incoming links to the selected component (the Links tab);
• section with a list of configuration data of the selected component (the Info tab)–only available in the Developer mode;
• section with Action buttons (blue buttons above tabs).

In the upper bar of the window, it shows the name and type of element, which data is displayed. 

• Main tab: allows reading and editing of the selected component’s slots. If the user changes the value of a slot in the Object Properties window, new value is immediately saved in the controller. The Object Properties window works in the auto save mode.

• Links tab: informs about all incoming and outgoing links with a full location path of target components and the names of target slots. For each link, it is possible to choose the following options from the context menu:
  • Go to link: transfers to the Wire Sheet view of a superior of a target component;
  • Go to component: transfers to the Property Sheet view of a target component;
  • Delete link: removes a chosen link.

• Info tab: (available only in the Developer Mode) shows the identification and configuration data of the selected component;

• Actions section: buttons available in the bar above tabs, allowing a simple execution of actions on selected component. These are the same actions which are listed in the component’s context menu under the Actions option.
