Linking Components and Descriptors to Databases

If you want a Component or Descriptor defined in a Property Object to be identified with a Database item, select it in the list of the Property Object’s master window, and click the Link to Database Item button at the top of the dialog box.

The Select Components or Select Descriptors dialog box appears. You can choose from all the relevant items in the selected database.

As long as a Component or a Descriptor of a Property Object is linked to a Database, the item will be updated with every update of the Database.

When a selected Component or a Descriptor is already linked to a database item, the name of the linking button changes to Remove Link to Database, and the Change Link button also becomes active. You can then either break the link to a database item, or replace it with a different one.

Object-specific items are listed in plain text, database items are listed in italic and the names of missing database items are grayed.
