In each section, the configured sub-sections will use the space available in the adjacent empty sub-sections.
A configured sub-section will first try to expand and use the unused space in the sub-section to its right, then
to its left, then to its bottom, and lastly in the sub-section above it. The content of a sub-section is center-aligned.
Also, the images are stretched to fit into the available space.
Managing Attributes
An attribute provides additional information about an entity in an hierarchy. You can define an attribute in
the application and then assign it to an entity.
For example, you can create an attribute called
Geo_location
, and then assign it to various entities and set
values indicating their geographic locations. To learn more about assigning attributes to entities, see
“Assign
Attributes,”
on page 82.
