When an item is selected in the Reference Data Explorer or the Electrical Index, you can edit the item properties in the Properties window. For some of the items, you can edit the most commonly used properties more conveniently on a dialog.
-
In the Reference Data Explorer or the Electrical Index, expand the folder hierarchy by selecting the + icons or by double-clicking the folders.
-
Edit the item properties as required in the Properties window. Note that an asterisk beside a property name indicates required data.
-
For some items, you can edit properties in either the Properties window or on a Common Properties dialog. You can select the Common Properties command on the shortcut menu for an item to open a dialog on which you can edit the most commonly used properties for the item. For full details of the properties, see the appropriate dialog topic.

If you edit a profile, a typical circuit, or a control station in the Reference Data Explorer, the software uses the latest update when you next apply options to a plant item. For example, if you modify the components of a typical circuit that already has a reference from a motor, the software does not automatically update the change in the typical circuit connected to the motor. The software updates the change only when you next apply a typical circuit or a profile to the motor.
