SDDType Configuration

Select SDD Development | View SDDTypes.... This will invoke the SDDType Viewer dialog. The table at the top of the dialog contains a list of available SDDTypes. Select the SDDType that you want to configure. If the type is configurable, the Configure button at the lower right-hand corner of the dialog will become active. Click on the Configure button to invoke the SDDType Configuration dialog.

The SDDType Configuration dialog will contain some type-specific configuration settings and, in the lower right-hand corner, two buttons: Apply and Close. If you make a configuration change, the Apply button will become active. To apply your changes, click the Apply button before closing the dialog.

SDDTypes that have configurable properties are listed and described below.
