| Screen Description |
|
Screen elements |
This pane displays fields for configuring an object class.
|
| How do I get here
|
| From the database pane, press the class library button on the toolbar or select 'properties: class library' from the database menu. |
|
|
|
name |
type |
action |
| Class Action Type |
list, drop down |
property |
|
Action types define the behavior of the object. For descriptions of available actions, \textcolor{blue}{see \ref{objclass:actions}}
|
|
| Class Category |
list, drop down |
property |
|
Categories allow you to better organize large libraries of object classes
|
|
| Class Description |
text field |
property |
|
A longer description of the object class. Since this a sortable field, it can be used to globally categorize object classes, or simply to provide an expanded description of the object if the object name itself might seem ambiguous when compared to all the other object class names.
|
|
| Class Description Template |
text field |
property |
|
Allows you to build a description in a tailored way from object class attributes. In this template, any characters may be used. Numeric characters will be interpreted to represent a field by its position in the attribute list. For example, the following attributes:
author = James Madison
title = Years of our Days
publisher = Machree and Sons
year = 1924
And this description template:
2, 1 (4)
Will result in this description:
Years of Our Days, James Madison (1924)
If you leave the description template blank Plato will use the contents of the first field to build the description.
Special use of backslash (/) character
If you preceed a number with a backslash the number will be ignored in the description template. Instead, the number will be used to specify which field will receive the text from imported lists.
|
|
| Class External Editor |
list, drop down |
property |
|
If the object class action is to load an external file, this field allows you to select a default editor with which to load the file.
|
|
| Class Field Attributes |
button, command |
property |
|
Each object class has field attributes that are user definable. This attribute is a list of these fields in the order they will appear when they are displayed. To add, edit, or delete field attributes, click the 'add fields' button. \textcolor{blue}{See \ref{objclass:actions}}
|
|
| Class Name |
text field |
property |
|
A short, descriptive name for the object class that quickly identify any object of its type. Good examples would be "journal," "book," "recipe," and the like. This is a mandatory field. Note that any space characters in your name will automatically be converted to underscore characters by Plato.
|
|
| Class Note Format |
list, drop down |
property |
|
Defines the format of the note field. Choices are 'Rich text (RTF)' or 'plain text'. If you set a note field to plain text, RTF enhancements will not be available for the note. For object classes that have special use by Plato, plain text is mandatory. These object classes are: lists,
