XML Attribute dialog box

Attribute Name

This box contains the name you want to use for your attribute. Each attribute in an element must have a unique attribute name. Attribute names do not have to be unique across elements.

Attribute Type

This list contains content type options for the attribute you're creating:

Instance Value

The Field option is available only if the corresponding report object in not Report (root node) or an Area Pair type. When the option is selected, the associated box displays the fields of the specified type available in the report.

Text

This option lets you enter text in the associated box as an instance value.

Default Value

Enter a value in this field to assure the attribute is not left empty when there is no instance value.
