Software Package Builder Features

Screen Regions

	Screen Regions
	The SPB GUI is comprised of the following main screen regions.
	Package Structure
	The Package Structure displays a navigable hierarchy of the software
	elements contained in the PSF. From the Package Structure, you can
	manage and build your PSF. From within this region you can view
	attribute information, edit the software package structure, expand and
	collapse nodes, view detailed information on a software element, and
	view detailed information on software specification attributes and their
	status.
Features	• Display a Software Element Attribute Table - Select a software
	element from the Package Structure to display its attribute
	information in the Attribute Table.
	• Display a Software Specification Attribute Table - Select a software
	specification element from the Package Structure to display its
	attribute information in the Software Specification table.
	• Expand and Collapse Nodes - Expand or collapse software elements.
	• Follow References - Follow a reference to the actual software element
	within the Package Structure and return to the reference of origin
	Attribute Table
	The Attribute Table displays attribute names and values for the software
	elements contained in the PSF. The Attribute Table displays the
	associated attribute information for the software element or reference
	you have selected in the Package Structure.
Features	• Drop-Down Lists - For attributes with boolean values, a drop-down
	list appears when you click in the Attribute Value field.
	• Enumerated Lists - For SD-UX specific values, an enumerated list
	appears when you click in the Attribute Value field.
	• Default Values - SPB provides default attribute values for a select
	group of attributes.
