In the Procedure Designer, the Tool Bar provides the following menu options as described in this section:
Edit Procedures (Pencil icon), Save, Save As, Import, and Close the Procedure Designer. Each is described in the following subsections.
Icon/Tool | Description |
|
Pencil Icon (Procedure) | Edit Procedure information: · Procedure Name: Automatically filled in with the name entered when saving the procedure. This field will be blank until the procedure is saved (this field is disabled for editing) · Procedure Type: Procedure (this field is disabled for editing) · Description: Describe what the procedure accomplishes. Because procedures can be called from other procedures and event handlers, providing a useful description helps other developers determine if the procedure could be used in another procedure or event. |
|
Pencil Icon (Event Handler) | Edit Procedure information: · Procedure Type: Event Handler. (Field is disabled for editing) · Event Type: The event type will be filled in based on the event type and the triggering moment selected during the set up screen before the procedure designer opens.
