Use this function to open the detail window of the article. If you activated several articles, several detail windows will be opened. This function is only available via the context menu of the article.
You can also open the article detail window by double-clicking the desired item.
The master data of the selected article will be displayed and can be changed. It is not possible to switch to a detail window during editing until the specified modifications have been confirmed with OK, thus ensuring an error-free transfer of the modifications.
Use the Classification function to assign a list of characteristics to the article. If a classification exists already, it can be modified here.
Preselect article
This function allows you to temporarily copy an article to the clipboard for a later creation of a link to another article.
First, choose Preselect article in the context menu or detail window, which will copy the article to the Clipboard.
When you right-click another article or a HELiOS document you can choose Links > Link preselected object as source class or ... > Link preselected object as target class. In both cases a dialogue for link class selection will be displayed. If no class has been defined for a constellation of HELiOS objects (e.g. if the delivered state of HELiOS offers no link class allowing the linking of an article as target class to a document), an appropriate message will be displayed (of course, you can define your own link classes for this purpose).
By right-clicking another folder or project you can open a context menu, allowing you to assign the article to the folder/project by means of the function Create assignment > Assign preselected object.
A preselected object can be assigned multiple times after its preselection, and will remain in the Clipboard until a different object will be preselected.
Please note that preselected objects cannot be linked across applications, i.e. it is not possible to preselect an object in the HELiOS Desktop and link it in an interfaced CAD application. The preselection and linking of objects works only within the same application.
Add to favourites
Use this function to add the marked object(s) to the Favourites window.
Displays the Workflow of the active article.
See also the information given in the Workflow topic.
Use this function to assign roles to Role Workflow objects, or to change existing role assignments.
A multiple selection of objects with the same workflow type is also possible.
Edit attribute values
This function enables a quick change of the master data. When you activate this function, the Edit attribute... window will be displayed. Select an attribute from the list, select Edit and enter the new text. When you open the mask again, the changed text can be found in the master data mask.
