Edit Objects
Within any model in which you have the security permissions to create elements, you can also edit the Notes, Tagged Values, Resource Allocation and Testing details of any object in which they occur.
Firstly, display the property (Notes, Tagged Values, etc) that you want to edit in WebEA's WebEA Main View - Object Properties, or in the WebEA - Properties View.
On the right of the item field for these three properties you will see a 
icon, which indicates that you have the ability to edit that property.
Edit Notes
To edit the notes of an object, click on the icon for the field. The 'Edit note for <object type>' dialog displays.
You can add, delete and change text, and use the formatting tools in the Notes toolbar; that is, for a selected text string, add:
- Bold
- Italic
- Underline
- Numbered List
- Bulleted List
- Superscript
- Subscript
- Text color
The final two toolbar buttons allow you to add or remove a hyperlink from some selected text.
To add a hyperlink:
- Select the text in the editor.
- Click on the .
- Enter the URL for the hyperlink.
- Click on the .
To remove a hyperlink:
- Select the text.
- Click on the .
Note: This function supports hyperlinks to Web URLs only.
You can also right-click on the selected text and select options from the browser context menu to:
- Undo the last change
- Move (cut) the text string into the buffer for pasting
- Copy the text string into the buffer for pasting
- Paste text from the buffer into the 'Notes' field
- Delete the selected text
- Select all the text in the 'Notes' field
- Search for the selected text string on the internet
- Turn spell-checking on and off (if on, possibly misspelt text is underlined in red)
- Add a different language dictionary to check spelling against (this would probably have been done already for your web browser)
When you have finished editing the text, click on the . A confirmation message briefly displays and you are returned to the object 'Properties' view.
Edit Tagged Values
To edit the Tagged Values of an object, click on the icon to the right of the Tagged Values list. The 'Edit Tagged Values' dialog displays.
Each tag provides an editable field. Structured Tagged Value types such as 'Memo' and 'Enumeration' tags provide the appropriate controls for entering a value. After modifying one or more tags use the 'Save & Close' button to save the new value/s or select 'Close' to discard the changes.
Edit Tests
The tests assigned to an element support a range of situations including user acceptance and scenario. You could be asked to define or perform tests on parts of a model of relevance to you as a customer or user, or you might want to add information obtained from other people you have asked to perform an evaluation. Therefore, you might need to edit test records to update them with your information.
To edit a test record, display the appropriate element in WebEA's Main View, click on the and select the appropriate test from the list.
Once the test is displayed click on the icon. The 'Edit Test for <element name>' dialog displays.
