List of Attributes

This task applies to the Structure Functional Design and Ship Structure Detail Design applications.

The following computed attributes and methods are in the StructureFunctionalDesign Knowledgeware dictionary. Not all methods take input parameters, and for those that do, the parameters are described in the Description column.

Whether you can see the value returned by the method depends upon how you are using it in Knowledgeware. For example, if you write a Knowledgeware rule or check causing a component to display differently based on the outcome of that rule or check, you won't see the calculated value; just the result of the calculated value.

You can see the value returned by a computed attribute in:

A report you generate through the Tools - Report Definition dialog.
The text displayed in your diagram, after you define a text template using the Insert Link Template dialog.
The Edit - Properties dialog, providing the administrator configured them to display as described in Changing the Display Order of Properties.
