The LOCALDEF Editor consists, like the Result-Viewer, two different "views", the graphical and the plain-text.

Contents

plain-text view

Because the plain-text view is actual the same component like the Source-Code-Editor, its handling is described there.

graphical view

The graphical view makes it more easy to edit your settings. Specific Components are used for specific kinds of attributes (e.g. a combobox for sets, a checkbox for binary attributes).

The LOCALDEF-Editor-Editor, aka the AdminPanel

In this Editor you have in the upper left corner a combobox, where the actual file is selected. Remember: The LOCALDEFS consists of three files.
