Understanding the advanced editor

The advanced editor provides an advanced view of the object being edited.

You can directly edit the values of the properties in the Business Services Repository. This should only be used if you are well-versed with the ontology model. It requires an understanding of the properties, values, and objects that can be created or modified.

The advanced editor also provides a generic property-value interface for viewing and editing objects. The advanced editor is very effective when dealing with extensions to a meta-model that was created by extending the ontology.
Note: The advanced editor immediately reflects all ontology changes.
Child objects are created by introducing nesting in the property tree. The property field is a property of the object that is selected. The value field has the values of these properties. The value field can be one of the following:

You can edit several types of properties using the advanced editor:

Note: The type of the property is driven by the ontology. For literals (string, date, floats, and so forth), use inline editors. A combo box has been included for enumerations. For references to other objects in the ontology, select one or more of these objects, based on whether the property is marked as functional in the ontology.

All changes are indicated by an asterisk. Save the changes just as you would with a regular editor.
