Message Definition editor: Overview editor

The Overview editor displays the contents of the message set object that you select in the Outline view, and you can view and change this object's most common properties.

The Overview editor appears when you click the Overview tab in the editor area. Use the navigation buttons and links on the toolbar to move back and forth between different objects. In the Overview editor you can make the types of change listed below:
  • Edit the displayed values of any of the following objects:
    • Structure
    • Type
    • Min Occurs
    • Max Occurs

    To edit any of these values, click the appropriate field in the Overview editor. Depending on the type of field, this either displays a list from which you can choose, or it enables the field for direct editing.

  • Add message model objects as in the Outline view.

    To add a new message model object, right-click Structure and then click the appropriate item from the displayed menu.

    For example, the menu for Messages provides Add Message, Add Message From Global Element, or Add Message From Global Type.
