Like all elements, when you select a tile in the Layout Pane, the tile's properties display in the Properties Pane. One of the properties displayed is called a finish code.
All elements have the Finish Code property. This is a free-form field into which you can enter any text. You can use the finish code to uniquely identify the selected element. By default, the finish code maps to the Alias 1 field in Worksheet. If you would like this property to appear in a different Worksheet column, go to the Tools menu and select Options.
There are two ways to apply finish codes: from the Properties pane and from the Apply Finish code dialog.
From the Properties pane:
-
Click on an element on the configuration side to which you would like to assign a finish code in the Panel Configuration window.
If you have a panel configuration in the Panel Configuration Pane that already has both panel frames and tiles in it, you would click one time to set the finish code for the tile or click a second time to select the finish code for the frame. -
Place your cursor in the corresponding side’s Finish Code field in the Properties Pane and type the desired finish code.
You can name your finish codes in whatever way will help you recognize how you want to specify that panel configuration’s finish once you bring the configuration over into a Worksheet file.
The finish code is displayed on that side of the configuration over in the Panel Configuration Pane.
From the Apply Finish code dialog:
To quickly apply a finish code to the whole panel configuration:
-
Click
on the Standard toolbar.
-
Type in the finish code.
-
Under Apply To, choose whether to apply the finish code to the selected panel only, to both sides of the panel configuration, to only side 1 or to only side 2.
-
Click OK.
Note: The finish code will be saved in the Property fields once you save the panel configuration.
