Identifier properties

The identifier properties tab is used to define which identifiers that shall be registered on the generated material.

This parameter tab is based on the parameter matrix concept. Use the Add button to add a new row and the remove button to remove a selected row. The columns of the matrix are described below.

Identifier definition

In this column the ident definitions are selected. The set of ident definitions available is governed by the database configuration.

Assignment

This column controls how the identifiers are assigned.

• Port based ident value. When this option is used a port will appear, and the value of this port at triggering time decides the value of the identifier to be assigned.
• Vector port based ident value. When this option is used a vector port will appear where the elements corresponds to the materials generated. The value of this port at triggering time decides the value of the identifier to be assigned.
• Port based increment ident value. When this option is used a port will appear, and the value of this port at triggering time decides the prefix of the identifier to be assigned. The prefix value is suffixed with the sequence number of the generated material.
• Fixed ident value. When this option is used the generated material is assigned a fixed identifier.
• Fixed increment ident value. When this option is used the generated material is assigned a fixed identifier suffixed by the sequence number of the generated material.

Fixed value

This column is used to declare the fixed identifier to assign when the Assignment parameter is set to Fixed ident value or Fixed increment ident value.

Port name

This column controls the name of the identifier ports when the Assignment parameter is one of the port based options.
