XML schema attribute collection

Use this page to view and work with XML attributes. An attribute is a name-value pair in a tagged element that modifies features of the element.

You can view the XML attributes for all XML schemas stored in the registry in either of the following ways:

Click View > Service Metadata > XML Schema > Attributes.
Click Service Metadata > XML Schema > Attributes in the navigation tree, if you have this displayed.

You can change the maximum number of rows to be displayed when the collection is large. Click Preferences if the Maximum rows entry field is not visible, then type the required value in the entry field and click Apply to use the new value. The default is 20 rows.

You can click the following icons to work with the XML attributes in your collection:

: Select all items in the collection.
: Deselect all items in the collection.

To sort the collection in alphabetical order by a specific column, click the title of the column. Repeatedly clicking the same column title toggles between ascending and descending sort order. You can also click the icon alongside the column title to sort by that column. This icon indicates the sort status as follows:

: The collection is not sorted by this column.
: The collection is sorted in ascending order by this column.
: The collection is sorted in descending order by this column.

Note that if you change the sort order of a collection, and the collection is displayed over two or more pages, then the currently displayed page will be reset to the first page of the collection.

To view the details of an XML attribute, click the name in the list. On the details page, you can change existing properties, relationships, and classifications, and link to additional pages that show more information about the attribute and its logical structure.

To work with one or more XML attributes, select the Select check box beside the attribute names in the list, and click one of the buttons described in the following table.

Button	Resulting action
Add Property	Shows the Properties panel that allows you to add a user-defined property to the selected attributes.
Add Relationship	Shows the Create Relationship wizard that allows you to add a user-defined relationship to the selected attributes.
Add Classifications	Shows the Classifications panel, where you can add classifications for the selected attributes.
