Editing Functoid Properties and Input Parameters

Functoid properties can be categorized as follows:

  • Label and Input parameters. These two properties are read/write and are available for all functoids. The Label property provides a mechanism for providing a descriptive name for a particular instance of a functoid, which may help in maintaining maps. The Input parameters property provides access to the Configure <Functoid> Functoid dialog box, which plays a central role in functoid configuration.

  • Script and Table Looping Grid. These two properties provide access to dialog boxes that are only applicable to the Scripting and Table Looping functoids, respectively. These dialog boxes are the Configure Scripting Functoid dialog box and the Configure Table Looping Functoid dialog box.

  • Name, Help, Maximum Input Parameters, and Minimum Input Parameters. These four are informational and always read-only.

    For conceptual information about these functoid properties, see Functoid Properties.

    This section provides step-by-step instructions for working with, and specifically modifying, the properties of functoids, including general instructions for configuring input parameters for functoids, configuring script for the Scripting functoid, and configuring table grid for the Table Looping functoid.
