Configuring Attributes of Criteria

You can configure the properties file of criteria to identify the attributes to be considered in criteria definition and evaluation based on the type of object. For more information, see Properties for Setting Attributes of Criteria.

  1. Create or open the text file to contain customized properties. For more information, see Editing Properties Using MQL.
  2. To configure the types in Applicable Type field, follow these steps: 

    Criteria.ApplicableTypes = type_Part

    By default the part types will be configured and you can change the configuration by adding the symbolic name of any type separated by a comma.

  3. To the configure criteria attributes, follow these steps:
    1. Add or edit this line in the file used to import properties into a page object: 

      Criteria.<SymbolicNameOftype>.Attributes  = 
<Attribute Symbolic Names separated by Comma>

      For example:

      Criteria.type_Part.Attributes  = 
attribute_ReleasePhase,attribute_MaterialCategory

      By default below entry will be added to the property file:

      Criteria.type_Part.Attributes = attribute_ReleasePhase

      Note: You can configure only 5 attributes for the criteria.

  4. When finished updating the text file with all properties you want to modify, including the ones shown here, use the text file to modify the criteria.properties page object. For more information, see Editing Properties Using MQL.
