● Select an object in the structure view; its parameters are then shown in the parameter table,
where they can be edited.
●
If an object has already been opened by a different user, a message is displayed that
identifies the user who opened the object and the PC from which the object was opened.
All fields of the parameter table then have a gray background and cannot be modified.
Note
Changes made to an object opened in SIMATIC PDM only take effect when you select
the menu command File > Save.
The displays in the status bar and title bar depend on the object you have currently selected.
