The machine type table has one row for each column of the current process’s machine table (that is, the type table has one row for each machine attribute). Each row of the type table has the following fields:
o Field Name
o Description
o Default Value Text
o Unit Type Name
o Unit
o Property Type Name
o Notes
3 Select Override Object from the CMWB Edit menu, or click the override icon, green_dude.png, in the toolbar.
4 You can modify field values, and add and remove table rows.
To modify a field value, click in the field and enter the new value, or (for the Unit Type Name field) double click in the field and select an item from the dropdown menu. Modifiable fields contain the pencil icon.
To add a table row, click in the Field Name field in the (empty) last row of the type table, and enter a name. Enter values in the other fields of the same row. Manage the display of new machine attributes as described in Working with Column Groups and Column Properties.
To remove a row, right-click on it and select Remove.
