Selecting multiple properties

Several places in the Meridian Explorer Configurator allow you to select multiple properties to configure a feature of a view. The places show a button with an arrow that when clicked shows the Add Multiple button.

To select multiple properties:

1. Click Add Multiple. The Select Properties dialog box appears.

   The dialog shows all available properties in the Browse list and the properties that you have selected in the Selected list.

2. Find or validate the properties that you want to select. You can do this by either searching for them or by specifying them by name.

   To search for properties:

• Browse the list to find the properties that you want. The properties in the Browse list are grouped by property set names that you can collapse or expand to help find a particular property.
• Filter the list to show only the properties that you want:

1. Type a portion of the beginning of a property set name or a property name in the search box. The search operator that will be used is Starts With.
2. Click the Search button . The Browse list refreshes to show the results of your search.
3. To reset the search results, clear the search box and click the button again.

To specify properties by name:

1. Click Delimited Names or click the Expand button next to Delimited Names. The property name entry controls appear.
2. Type one or more property names in the text box. The property names may be separated by the comma (,) semi-colon (;) pipe (|) or newline characters.

Tip    If the list of property names already exists in a document, copy them to the Clipboard and paste the list into the text box.

3. Click Validate to confirm that all of the properties exist in the repository. If the property is valid, its name appears under Validation Result in normal text. If it is not valid, it appears in red text.

3. Add properties from the Browse list to the Selected list:

• Select the property in the Browse list and click Add.
• Double-click the property in the Browse list.
• Drag the property to the Selected list.

4. When you have added all of the properties to the Selected list that you want, click OK. The properties that you selected are added to the list of properties for the feature that you are configuring.
