Refreshing the Attribute Set Report
If you manually refresh the Attribute Set Report window, the selected attribute set, and level of expansion, is retained.
Since the Attribute Set Report window is dynamically linked to the type being viewed in the Manage Types window, changes in the Manage Types window are reflected in the Attribute Set Report window as follows:
• If you move to view a different type in the Manage Types window, the Attribute Set Report window refreshes to show the report for the new type. If that type does not have any cascading attribute rules defined, a message that no attribute sets are available displays.
• If the
Attribute Set Report window is already open, and you click the attribute set report icon
, the
Attribute Set Report window moves to the front, and refreshes to show the current report for the selected attribute set.
• If you create or delete cascading attribute rules, but have not yet clicked Save or Done, the report is not automatically refreshed. If you manually refresh the Attribute Set Report window, the report does reflect the new or deleted rules.
| While any edits made to the cascading attribute rules in edit mode are displayed if you refresh the Attribute Set Report, those edits are not persisted until you click Done or Save on the Manage Types window to exit edit mode. |
• If you edit the cascading attribute rules on the type and click Save or Done, the Attribute Set Report window automatically refreshes, reflecting the edits.
• If you edit the type, for example, changing the display name of the type or of an attribute, the Attribute Set Report window does not reflect those changes until you click Save or Done, even if you manually refresh the report.
• If you close or refresh the Type and Attribute Management utility window, the Attribute Set Report window closes.
| Because the Attribute Set Report window is dynamically linked to the Manage Types window, copying and pasting the URL for the Attribute Set Report window into another session, or sharing that link with others, does not result in the same report displaying. If the Type and Attribute Management utility is not open, or if the utility is open but no Cascading Attributes tab has been viewed during that session, the Attribute Set Report window displays an error message. If the Type and Attribute Management utility is open, and the Cascading Attributes tab has been viewed at some point in that session, the Attribute Set Report window displays the report, if any, for the type currently selected in the Manage Types window. For another user to view the report, they should access the Type and Attribute Management utility, view the type in the Manage Types window, and launch the Attribute Set Report window themselves. |
