Universal converter parameter dialog box

Common elements used in transformer parameter dialogs

There is an attribute button in the upper right corner of each converter.

Every transformer has a Properties button on the right of the transformer.

Properties button

When you click the attribute button, most converters will display a Parameter Edit dialog box related to the current converter, and sometimes it will pop up when you connect the converter. The parameter editing dialog box interfaces of most converters are similar.

When you click the Properties button, most transformers display an edit parameters dialog. the content of this dialog depends on the transformer, and sometimes even on connections to the transformer. most transformers have some common user interface elements, however, and those are described here.

The button color in the upper-right corner of the converter represents the parameter setting status.

The Properties button at the top-right of the transformer is color-coded to show the status of the settings.

If the button is in this color, you can use the existing parameters of the converter.

If the Properties button is the same color as the transformer, you can use the transformer with its existing parameters.

If the button is yellow, it indicates that the converter contains the default settings, but you have not confirmed it. Although you can use the converter in this status, the output is unpredictable.

A yellow Properties button indicates that the transformer contains default settings, but you have not yet accepted them. You can use the transformer in this state, but the workspace results may be unpredictable.

The red attribute button means that some FME parameters cannot provide default parameters. You must enter required parameters before using the converter.

A red Properties button means that there is at least one parameter for which FME cannot supply a default value. You must provide a value in the required field (s) before the transformer can be used.

When you click the attribute button, the displayed parameter editing dialog box is similar to the following:

When you click a Properties button, the edit parameters dialog that appears will usually have some of the common elements shown in this example.
