Properties Tab
In this area you view and define a tool or task’s properties, including its input values. Input properties are
configured in different ways, including defining them on the Setup tab, entering them directly into the value
field, linking them into the value field, or selecting the values from a list. Details about each tool’s properties
begins on page 3-38. Task properties begin on page 3-34.
For properties that display or contain real numbers, any number less than 0.001 is displayed in scientific
notation. For example, the number 0.00123 is displayed as a fixed point number (0.00123), but the number
0.000123 is displayed in scientific notation (1.23e-4). At least four significant digits are always displayed.
Outputs are also listed on the Properties tab. Data can be linked between outputs and inputs, depending on
the data type. Links can be viewed on the Link Summary tab (see “Link Summary” on page 3-24).
If an input or output has a small plus sign to the left of the name, you can view the sub-properties and all the
available data types of those properties. For example, if you click the plus sign of the Success property in the
Origin tool (a Boolean data type), other data types for that property are displayed.
