selected object(s).
If you select multiple objects of the same type in the system, the icon next to
the property name indicates this with a triangular symbol in the lower right-

selected objects of the same type that share this property. You can then
change all properties for the selected objects at the same time.

Argument Area and Progress / Result Area
When you initiate a command that requires additional arguments, the
required argument fields display for you to enter one or more arguments
prior to sending the command. You must complete all required arguments
before sending the command.
An argument field that displays a red border around it means that the value
for that property is invalid. You will need to enter a valid value before
commanding the property.
 Once you execute a command, displays the progress and then the
result of a command once you execute a command. During the
command, the Progress / Result field displays Command in
Progress, along with information about how many objects have been
commanded and how many will be commanded all together. After a
command execution is complete, successful commands display
Success
.
Failed commands display the reason the command failed
and, if you executed multiple commands, the number of failed
commands.
6
Command Area
Displays the name of a command that you can initiate. If a command button
has a triangle in the lower right-hand corner, the command has multiple
buttons or options, and clicking on the triangle then displays the options.
Some commands are sent immediately after you initiate them by clicking on
the
Command
button. Others require you to enter arguments before they
can be sent. When a command requires arguments (additional fields
requiring information to continue with the command), the property row will
expand after you click the command button. You then complete the
additional fields and click the appropriate button (Send, Command, etc.).
Some object properties support grouping of command buttons under a
single command button with a drop-down list of your choices. The button
you choose from the drop-down list becomes the new commandable button
