Attribute Property Sheet
When an object has a state associated with it, the graph for each object is color-coded
according to the state of the object, and the corresponding data value in the grid
portion of the ASAP Browse window is annotated with the state icon. The Browse
window lets you selectively display objects based on their states. To selectively display
objects in the browse window based on their states, select the States menu item from
the Browse window View menu. This table summarizes ASAP states and their
associated icons:
State Determination ALL Button
The State Determination ALL button is an advanced feature that selects a range of
attributes from the first attribute that has a state attribute associated with it, through the
last attribute for the current entity.
This button lets you quickly select a range of attributes starting with the first attribute
that has a state associated with it, also known as a value,state StatePair. Once you
select these attributes using the ALL button, you can set the State Determination rule
for all StatePair attributes all at once, rather than individually.
For example, to set the State Determination rule for all StatePairs to
UseStateGraphState, click the ALL button, then select the State Determination Rule
labelled Use State...Graph State.
Conversely, to set the State Determination rule for all StatePairs to UseThresholds,
click the ALL button, then select the State Determination Rule labelled Use Thresholds.
The Status attribute for the entity is not set to UseThresholds. By definition, its state
determination rule is UseStateGraphState.
