#!EC #!N #!N To provide the values of a given input 
for a tool, use one of these methods: #!N #!I0 #!N 
 #!F-adobe-times-medium-r-normal--18*   #!N #!N #!I30 #!N o Connect the output tab of 
another tool to the desired input tab. #!N #!I30 #!N o 
 #!F-adobe-times-medium-i-normal--18*   or #!EF #!N #!I30 #!N o Use the tool's Configuration 
dialog box. #!N #!I0 #!N #!EF #!N #!N #!N When you 
specify an input value for a tool, the corresponding tab on 
the tool's icon automatically folds in. If you do not specify 
an input value, the input tab remains folded out, indicating that 
the input is unbound and the tool uses its default for 
that input. The default values are given in the Configuration dialog 
box. The tabs that are folded in give you a visual 
representation of the inputs that have user-specified values. Some tabs require 
an input; those tabs remain highlighted in a different color until 
you specify an input with a connection or through a Configuration 
dialog box. Some of the tabs are not displayed, termed hidden. 
The hidden tabs can be revealed or additional tabs can be 
hidden (see  #!Lrahit,dxall350 h Revealing and Hiding Input Tabs  #!EL  ). Also, some tools allow you to add 
or remove input tabs (see  #!Lartabs,dxall344 h Adding and Removing Input and Output Tabs  #!EL  ).  #!Ltabs68,dxall340 f Figure 68  #!EL  illustrates tools whose 
inputs have been specified. #!Cbrown #!N  #!F-adobe-times-medium-r-normal--18*    #!Rtabs68 #!N Graphics omitted

How Tabs Work. An input tab folds in when its input 
is supplied through a connecting "arc" or is defined in the 
module's configuration dialog box. When the default input is used, the 
tab remains up. An output tab folds in when it is 
connected to another module by an arc. #!EF #!N #!EC #!N 
#!N A tab that is folded in but has no connecting 
line leading to it indicates that its input was specified using 
the tool's Configuration dialog box. #!N #!N #!N  #!F-adobe-times-medium-i-normal--18*   Next Topic
