NOTE If you choose not to enter a name, upon selecting a rule template
the name of that template will be used.
4 From the Rule Templates list, choose a template from which your rule
will be based upon.
NOTE The Attach Items to Tasks template is the one used for the first
three pre-defined TimeLiner rules, that is, Items, Selection Sets and
Layers By Task Name.
The Attach Items to Tasks by Category/Property template enables
you to specify a property within the model scene. If a task has the same
name as the specified property value in the model, then all items having
that property will be attached to that task when you check the rule
Attach Items to Tasks by Category/Property, and click Apply
Rules.
5 In the Rule Description box, click on each of the underlined values
to define your custom rule. The customizable values available with the
built in templates are:
■ Column Name. Choose which column in the
Tasks Tab (page 605)
you want to compare Item names to. The default is the Name
column, though you may also choose other available columns, for
example one of the ten User columns, identified in the
Field Selector
Dialog Box
(page 616).
■ Items. Choose what you would like the value in the column to be
compared to in the model scene. The default is Item name, though
you may also choose either Selection Sets or Layers.
■ Matching. Use case sensitivity and therefore only match names
that are exactly the same. You may also choose Ignoring to ignore
case sensitivity.
■ Category/Property Name. Use the name of the category or property
as it is displayed in the interface (recommended). You can also choose
Internal Name which is that accessed via the API (for advanced
use only).
■ “<category>”. Choose from the available list, which category the
property you wish to define is in. Only the categories that are
contained in the scene are available in the drop down.
■ “<property>”. Choose from the available list, which property you
wish to define. Again, only the properties in the scene within the
chosen category will be available.
