DataWindow Designer User’s Guide 43
Modifying comments
You can use comments to document your objects and libraries. You can
associate comments with an object when you first save it in a painter, and you
can use the Library painter to:
• Modify existing comments for objects
• Add comments to objects that do not currently have any comments
• Modify the comments for a single object
• Modify comments for multiple objects using a shortcut
• Modify comments for a library
❖ To modify comments for objects:
1 In the List view, select the objects you want.
2 Select Entry>Properties from the menu bar, or select Properties from the
pop-up menu.
DataWindow Designer displays the Properties dialog box. The
information that displays is for the first object you selected. You can
change existing comments, or, if there are no comments, you can enter
new descriptive text.
3 Click OK when you have finished with the first object.
If you do not want to change the comments for an object, Click OK. The
next object displays.
4 Enter comments and Click OK for each object until you have finished.
If you want to stop working on comments before you finish with the
objects you selected, Click Cancel. The comments you have entered until
the most recent OK are retained. The new comments display in the Library
painter workspace.
❖ To modify comments for a library:
1 Select the library you want.
2 Click the Properties button, or select Library from the pop-up menu.
3 Add or modify the comments.
