Ver7.1.0 Property display and description can be freely customized

In cases where:
– products are differentiated by length, height, weight, etc.
– there are many optional parts or differing methods of production
there are usually a large number of properties to be set for these characteristics. From version 7.1.0 on, the display of properties (colors, description fields, naming) can be freely customized for easier viewing.

User is able to specify own descriptions to make the properties understandable. The description of every array element can be freely customized, and custom names can be specified for the indexes of arrays as well. Also, by settings aliases for properties, the way how the properties window looks can be customized even further.

Property and description

It is not just possible to show the tabs the user needs and uses regularly, but also make them easily understandable by specifying custom display names using aliases.

Setting tabs

The background color of main body and array type elements can also be customized. This makes it possible to highlight important rows or to separate information to subsets inside the property window. By using expressions for the cell background color and cell text color, cells can be made to show in different colors depending on the data they contain. This can be useful to highlight properties which are incorrect, or are empty when they should be specified etc. to reduce the number of user-errors involved.

Cell background color and cell text color

When aliases are given to the tabs in the property window, these custom names will also appear in the tabs for normal tables and charts, and in the menus for selecting styles for tables and charts. Customization of tab names can be put to use when using styles in tables and charts.
