In the dropdown box, click on the arrow to select the system setting you want to change, as listed below: The classes tree for the selected setting are displayed in the left side in the tree browser. Expand a class tree and select the class or sub-class for which you want to define attribute settings. The available attributes and selected default attributes for the class is displayed in the right side, as illustrated.


    • Simplified Profile
    Displays minimum attributes for each class in an object's Profile Card when a simplified view is selected. You are recommended to use this setting for all leaf classes. This setting also allows you to define attributes as Read Only (RO) or Read/Write (RW).
    • Advanced Profile
    Displays maximum attributes for or each class in an object's Profile Card when advancedview is selected. You are recommended to use this setting for all leaf classes. This setting also allows you to define attributes as Read Only (RO) or Read/Write (RW).
    • Quick search
    Displays minimum attributes to select when running a quick search for objects. Enter only text attributes. (Only super class attributes can be selected.)
    • Advanced search
    Displays maximum attributes for each class to select when running an advanced search for objects.
    • Search Results
    Displays search results according to the defined attribute settings. (Only super class attributes are displayed in the search results.)
    • Tree Attributes
    Displays the selected attributes in the community tree explorer.

  4. In the Available Attributes list, select an attribute for this class and click to add the selected attribute to the Selected Attributes list. All attributes in the Selected Attributes list will be displayed when you next perform the action for the selected setting.
    • Click to remove a selected attribute from the Selected Attributes list.
    • By default, selected attributes are defined in the SmarTeam database settings. To define an attribute as Read Only (RO), select the attribute in the Selected Attributes list then click in the Read Only check box. To define a Read Only attribute as Read/Write (RW), select the attribute in the Selected Attributes list then click in the Read Only check box to uncheck it. (Be consistent - if you define an attribute in the Simplified Profile as Read Only or Read/Write (RW), define it the same for the Advanced Profile, and vice versa.)
