Tab Description

Properties

Displays the configuration properties of the selected component (without opening its Properties dialog). You can also edit the properties of a component here. This is the same as editing the properties in the Configuration tab of the component's Properties dialog.

You can also view the Configuration Properties for a selected component using the following methods:

  • Route properties - select the route and then right-click and select the Route Properties command from the context menu in the Workspace or in the Route Editor.
  • Communication point properties - select the communication point and then right-click and select the Communication Point Properties from the context menu in the Workspace. Alternatively, double-click the communication point in the Route Editor.
  • Filter properties - select the filter in the Route Editing panel and then right click and select the Properties command from the context menu. Alternatively, double-click the filter in the Route Editor.
  • Use the keyboard shortcut to display the properties for the selected item.

Output

Displays the status and any associated error messages for a selected component or route as it is checked in and out, or started and stopped. These messages can be informational (for example, check-in complete) or can indicate an error. Viewing error messages in this tab is the first step to troubleshooting a configuration and getting the route to process its messages correctly.
