Zone Attributes

A zone attribute allows information about a particular instance of a zone to be entered. Any string can be the value of an attribute, though the possible values for a particular attribute can be limited to a set of strings. Zone attributes are specific to a zone type. Zone attributes can be configured in the Zones tab of the Preferences menu.

Setting a Value for an Attribute

To set a value for the attribute of a particular zone, first select the zone by clicking inside it or by dragging a box around it. The lowest table in the left panel will display the attribute names and values for the selected zone. Select the value you wish to change by clicking on the cell displaying it. You can then type in a new value for the attribute, or select the value from a drop down menu if a list of possible values is defined for that attribute. Not all attributes listed in the table can be changed directly in the table.

Using Hotkeys to Set a Value for an Attribute

To set a value for the attribute of a particular zone, first select the zone by clicking inside it or by dragging a box around it, then press the hotkey combination for the value and attribute that you wish to set. Hotkey combinations can be set in the Zones tab of the Preferences menu, and are always Ctrl + a number.
