Names can only start with a letter or the underscore character and not with a number, hyphen or period. Names beginning with xml or any variant (for example XmL) are reserved by the XML standards specification.

If you select (More...), this starts the Type Selection wizard. From this wizard you can select any of the available types. If you select (New Simple Type), this starts the New Simple Type wizard which allows you to create an Anonymous simple type that is based on an existing type. This can be created locally or globally. If you select (New Complex Type), this starts the New Complex Type wizard which allows you to create an Anonymous complex type which can be derived from an existing base type. This can be created locally or globally. For further information about these types, and examples of their use see the XML Schema Part 0: Primer which can be found on the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Web site. |
Namespace | Enumerated type | Namespaces are a simple method for qualifying element
and attribute names by associating them with namespaces identified by URI
references. If <no target namespace> is displayed, a namespace has not been set for this object. If the property is inactive, the message set has not been configured to support namespaces. Where the property is active, namespaces that are available for selection are displayed in the drop-down list. |
The Value properties are used in conjunction with the Usage property in an Attribute Reference or a Local Attribute.
