You can perform additional customizations to add ALLOWABLE values and verification requirements to the property definition. Similarly, you can add these additional parameters at any of the levels show above. You can do this in the SMS_PROPERTIES.xml, SMS_ANNOT_PROPERTIES.xml, SMS_VIEWER.xml, or SMS_ANNOTATION.xml files, depending on your requirements.

The following example adds one set of ALLOWABLE values to the SMS_VIEWER.xml and a different set to SMS_ANNOTATION.xml.

  1. Add the new ALLOWABLE values as shown in the following figure:

  2. Add another set of ALLOWABLE values to the SMS_ANNOTATION.xml file. This time, add only two of the values that were added to the SMS_VIEWER.xml file.

    SHARED Tip This property is only added to the Plate Info annotation. It is not added to the Plate Info Inverted annotation unless you also add it there.

    The Place Annotation dialog box in the Annotation Editor looks like the following figure when you place a Plate Info annotation:

  3. Click the value for the My Attribute property.

    A list of the values you defined in the ALLOWABLE definition displays.

    If you click OK, the software generates the Plate Info annotation, but it does not have the My Attribute value in the annotation.

  4. Edit the SMS_ANNOTATION.xml file to add two SMS_GEOM_ARG nodes in the SMS_GEOM_ARGS section as shown in the following figure:

    SHARED Tip If you want the value to appear on the same line as some other attributes, change VALUE_"NEWLINE" to VALUE="SAMELINE. You can use the My_AttributeOffset node to define a space between the previous text box and the one that contains the data for the My_Attribute field.
