Modifying Catalog Entities

Icons are available in the Catalog Editor according to the element being edited.

You can modify a chapter's name.

1. Right-click the chapter in the catalog tree and select Chapter object->Definition...  from the contextual menu
                             or
   select a created description in the right part of the window and select Edit current chapter... from the contextual menu.
   The Chapter Definition dialog box appears.

2. In the Name box, enter the chapter name.

3. Click OK to validate.
   The chapter name is modified accordingly.

You can modify chapter keywords.

1. Right-click the chapter in the catalog tree and select Chapter object->Keyword default values... from the contextual menu
                     or
   right-click a description in the right part of the window and select Keyword default values....
   The Chapter Keywords dialog box appears.

   This dialog box enables you to specify a new Name and a default Value for the selected keyword, unset the displayed values or remove a keyword.  The Visible option is used by the catalog administrator to make a keyword visible or not when a user browses the catalog.  Position your pointer on the Value field then use the contextual menu and select the Range... command. This command lets you define a Minimum and a Maximum bound for the description value.

2. Click OK.
   The keyword is modified accordingly.

1. In the right part of the window, double-click the description or right-click the description and select Definition... from the contextual menu.
   The Description Definition dialog box appears.

2. Click the tab in which you want to modify data.

3. When finished, click OK to validate.

   Note: You can also update all the descriptions of a chapter at the same time using the value of a string type keyword. To do so, choose a chapter then select the Update descriptions name... command from the Insert menu. The Update Descriptions Name dialog box enables you to indicate a new Reference keyword. When you rename the description, the Name value will be modified as well but if no Name has been specified, you can modify the description without creating this keyword.

More about modifying descriptions

When you modify the description name, a warning message is displayed: the reason is that modifying a description that references an object or a document implies that the modified description is synchronized with the referenced element. In that case, keyword values may also be impacted.

Keyword values can be synchronized with already existing attributes from other documents. When this occurs, the modification made to the keyword value prior to the synchronization is ignored and a warning message is displayed to inform you that the modification is not allowed.

Regarding descriptions related to features, power copies or user features, bear in mind that the modification of the value has to be done in the object properties (i.e. using the Edit->Properties command).

1. In the Keywords tab, right-click the description and select Remove description.
   The description is removed from the list.
