Create Text Object Dialog Box
Use the Create Text Object dialog box as a shortcut to create text objects of dimension 0, which are
single-value variables, for use in FlexConfig policy objects. Enter the name of the variable and the value
to assign to it. When you click OK, the variable is added to the FlexConfig object at the cursor location
and it is added to the list of variables for the object.
Navigation Path
In the Add or Edit FlexConfig Dialog Box, right-click in the object body field and select Create Text
Object.
Tip If you want to create a multiple-value text object, right-click and select Insert Policy Object > Text
Objects, and click the Add button under the available objects list. For more information, see Add or Edit
Text Object Dialog Box, page7-31.
Add or Edit Text Object Dialog Box
Use the Add or Edit Text Object dialog box to create, edit, duplicate, and view text objects. Create a text
object if you need textual data to be referenced and acted upon by another policy object that accepts text
objects.
Text objects are a type of policy object variable. They are a name and value pair, where the value can be
a single string, a list of strings, or a table of strings. You can enter any type of textual data to be
referenced and acted upon by FlexConfig policies. For more information about FlexConfigs, see
