Example: disabled attribute values
When an administrator deletes an attribute value, it affects templates and objects that use that value.
Consider a project template, named Marketing Collateral, which contains a tab, Production Info. Production Info contains several attributes, including a required attribute, Color, and an optional attribute, Coating.
The attributes have the following values.
Color (required) | Coating (optional) |
---|---|
(default value) 4C 4/4 Black and White | Gloss Aqueous (default value) Dull Aqueous UV Coating Etched |
Tom creates a marketing collateral project, MC001, and sets the Color to 4/4 and the Coating to Dull Aqueous.
An administrator then disables the 4/4 and Dull Aqueous values.
Tom opens the MC001 project, and edits the Production Info tab.
- Tom can leave the Coating value as Dull Aqueous, or set it to any of the enabled values, such as Etched.
- Tom must change the value of Color to one of the enabled values before he can save the Production Info tab.
The administrator re-enables 4/4 and Dull Aqueous values, and disables the default value (Gloss Aqueous).
Tom creates a marketing collateral project, MC002:
- The value of Coating is blank.
- Tom must select a valid value for Color before he finishes creating MC002
