You can use this option to add a text at the beginning or the end of the target attribute.

Start: If all the properties of the search have been specified you can press the Start button to have a preview on the result to be expected.

If the target attribute can be modified, a preview on the result is displayed in the column "Preview".

A modified target attribute is then highlighted in blue in the preview column.

Please note that the data is not persistent, only a preview is given here.

OK: If data can be adopted, the OK button is activated. Click OK to adopt the data and to close the macro.

Apply: If data can be adopted, the Apply button is activated. Click Apply to adopt the data, the macro remains open.

Undo: When you have adopted the data via the OK button the changes made last can be undone via the Engineering-Base-Client function "Undo".

When you have adopted the data via the button "Apply", the dialog is still open and you can undo your changes via the undo button of the dialog.

Cancel: When you click the button Cancel, the macro is closed. Changes not stored previously via the Apply button are not saved.

The last worksheet and the last target attribute are saved in the registry and after a restart of the macro it is initialized with these settings.

The List

The first line of the list is the so-called Header. It corresponds to the header of the previously selected worksheet; apart from the first column "Preview" which is filled when a search has been started via the Start button.

Columns with a red designator are columns on which a filter has already been set in the worksheet. This filter cannot be removed here in this dialog.

Starting with the second line filters can be used. You can use the filter "Sort ascending", "Sort descending", you can filter for a specific attribute content or use a user-defined filter, the so-called "Custom auto-filter" similar to the filters used in EXCEL.

Exceptions:

The attributes "Material" (attribute ID 320) and "Type" (attribute ID 7) cannot be changed.

Only the target attributes of the type "String", "Float" and "Number" can be changed.

Attributes protected via "From Catalog", "ReadOnly" or "WriteProtected" cannot be changed.

These attributes are marked in grey in the list.

Virtual attributes like "Patrol" or "Associated Function" cannot be changed. They are also marked in grey in the list.

If the entries are not logical and or if changes cannot be adopted, the macro will not indicate this.

Worksheets configured with "Sum" or "Count" cannot be taken in to consideration.
