To filter the selected attributes of the object, click Filter Attributes

.

To modify the attributes values, do the following:

To shift from browse mode to edition mode, click Switch to edition mode .
Modify one or more attribute values.

To save the modifications, click commit

.

Important: If you modify one or more attribute values, and then select another object while still in the Attributes panel, the modifications are automatically saved.

The modification triggers the Check business rules of saving. If the rule raises an error, the object is not committed and a warning message appears. The commit states vary depending on the modifications. The following table lists the possible commit states in all authoring and navigation apps:


Commit State	Meaning
	Some modifications are waiting to be committed.
	Some modifications are waiting to be committed but some warning has been raised from Check business rules.
	Commit is not authorized.

In authoring apps, the modifications are saved in session, and will be saved in the database when you save the object. In navigation apps, the modifications are directly saved in the database.
