Visibility Tab
From the Visibility tab for an attribute in attribute information pane, you can view and set the visibility for the attribute for particular operation.
The visibility set on an attribute of a parent node is by default propagated to all the child nodes. If an attribute is inherited from a parent node, its visibility can only be made more restrictive than the attribute visibility on the parent node; it cannot be made less restrictive. For example, if the child node attribute inherited visibility value is Hidden from its parent node, it cannot be modified at child level. However, if the child node inherited visibility value is Read/Write from its parent node, it can be modified toHidden at child level. The default visibility value for an attribute is Read/Write.
Setting Attribute Visibility
To change the visibility of an attribute for a specific operation, use the following procedure.
1. Select Edit from the type information page Actions menu for the type to enter edit mode.
2. Select the desired visibility option for the attribute and operation combination you want to set. The options for visibility are:
◦ Read/Write — the attribute can be viewed and edited.
◦ Hidden — both the attribute and the value are hidden.
3. Click Done to save the changes and return to view mode, or click Save to save the changes and remain in edit mode.
