Configuring Module Properties in Binding Editor

Binding Editor is a tool to edit, pick, and clear module properties for adapter configurations.

Note: Binding Editor is available only for the Configuration tab and the Processing tab.

You can select multiple module properties and edit each property using Binding Editor. The global variable type has to match the selected module property type.

If the input field has bound global variables, you have to clear the binding in the Binding Editor dialog, and then specify the value manually in the field.
