Bottom Pane
Details View Pane
The Details View pane can be floating or docked. By default, the pane appears docked at the bottom of the Standards Editor window. Single click the top bar of the pane and drag the pane to a new position. Double click the top bar of the pane to toggle between its most recent floating and docked positions. Size and position are saved when you exit the guideline.
Not all fields appear for every object in the top pane.
| Field | Contents |
|---|---|
| Description | For your use. |
| ID | For your use. |
| Reference |
This element points to another item for its definition. To identify the item to which it points, click the Change Type button at the end of the Type field, choose Reference, and use the drop-down list. |
| Type |
Same as Type column in the top pane. You can type in the type, or use the Change Type button at the end of the line. For more details, see Types. |
| Length | For data that must be a fixed length. An integer that specifies the exact number of digits or characters for the value. |
| Min Length | An integer that specifies the minimum length for the value. |
| Max Length | An integer greater than 0 that specifies the maximum length for the value. |
| Pattern | An optional regular expression to describe the sequence of characters that are acceptable in the value. Use this instead of the application value list regular expressions unless you need to use an application value list to enforce literal values or multiple patterns. |
| Abstract |
This element is abstract, meaning it cannot be used in the data. Instead, it should be replaced by a member of its substitution group. If this is a type, declaring it abstract requires the use of another type that is derived from it. |
| Nullable | The element must be present in the data but can be empty. |
| Substitution Group | The current element may be substituted for the element entered here. |
| Form | Optional. Determines whether this item has to be qualified with the namespace prefix. Default is the value of the elementFormDefault attribute of the schema element. Not available for elements directly under the schema element. |
| Block | Determines whether other elements can be substituted for this one. |
| Final | Only used on elements that have the schema element as a parent. Sets the default value of the final attribute. |
| Minimum Occurrences | Same as Min column in the top pane. |
| Maximum Occurrences | Same as the Max column in the top pane. |
| Default Value |
For optional elements, this value will be assumed if the element appears in the data without a value. If the element is not in the data at all, then the default value is ignored. Does not apply to the required elements, since the XML must contain a value. For attributes, this value applies even when the attribute is missing in the data. |
| Fixed Value | If the XML data includes this element or attribute, it must contain this value. If the XML omits this element or attribute, this value will be assumed. |
| Edit Notes | Add level notes to this item. These are for your own use and can optionally print in Doc Builder. |
| Edit Rules | Add business rules to this item. Please see BusinessRules.pdf. |
