Viewing the visual specification rule properties on the Properties pane

The Properties pane on the Visual Specifications Advanced View dialog box shows only the properties associated with the rule that is currently selected.

The properties listed on the Properties pane allow you to set common values for more than one specification rule at a time. If more than one specification rule is selected, only the common values are displayed. For example, if the only common item is the database in which the rules are stored, only the Workspace cell will be populated. However, you can enter new values and assign those values to the selected rules.
