Options

The Options panel enables you to set options for the object. You can perform the following actions:

• Create a new section, and add an option
• Add a new option in an existing section

Notes:

• The Section and Key fields are required, and the values for these fields must be unique in the environment.
• If you are adding an option for which there is metadata, the option value is validated.
• If an option is selected in the list when you click the New button, the dialog box will have the Section name prefilled with the name of the section containing the selected option (or the option selected first, if more than one option is selected).
• When you are modifying option values, and if there is metadata for the option, a drop-down list (for a finite set of valid values, as defined in the metadata) or edit box appears in which you enter the new value. If there is no metadata for the option, the only editing control is an edit box in which you enter the new value.
