If the attribute value is shown in a 'strike-through' font (with a horizontal line through it mid-way vertically),
this illustrates that the attribute can't be set - this will happen where the attribute value would reference an
instance of particular type of object, but there are not currently any instances of objects of that type defined.
Tip
Since the attribute name is a compact, concise and un-ambiguous way of referring to an attribute, please
quote attribute names when requesting technical support, and expect technical support staff to discuss
your configuration primarily in terms of attribute (and object/element) names, rather than descriptive
text, or physical location on your screen (both of which can vary between software releases).
3.4.3. Navigating around the User Interface
You navigate around the hierarchy using one or more of the following :-
• configuration category icons
• the breadcrumbs - each part of the breadcrumbs (delimited by the :: symbol) is a clickable link
• the in-page navigation buttons, shown in Figure 3.8 : "Up" - move one level up in the object hierachy, "Prev"
- Previous object in a list, and "Next" - Next object in a list.
Figure 3.8. Navigation controls
Caution
The configuration pages are generated on-the-fly using JavaScript within your web browser
environment (i.e. client-side scripting). As such, the browser is essentially unaware of changes to
page content, and cannot track these changes - this means the browser's navigation buttons (Back,
Forward), will not correctly navigate through a series of configuration pages.
Please take care not to use the browser's Back button whilst working through configuration pages -
navigation between such pages must be done via the buttons provided on the page - "Prev", "Next"
and "Up".
Navigating away from an object using the supported navigation controls doesn't cause any modifications to
that object to be lost, even if the configuration has not yet been saved back to the FB6000. All changes are
initially held in-memory (in the web browser itself), and are committed back to the FireBrick only when you
press the Save button.
The navigation button area, shown in Figure 3.8, also includes three other buttons :-
• New : creates a new instance of the object type being edited - the new object is inserted after the current one ;
this is equivalent to using the "Add" link one level up in the hierarchy
• Erase : deletes the object being edited - note that the object will not actually be erased until the configuration
is saved
• Help : browses to the online reference material (as desribed in Section 3.2.1) for the object type being edited
