Setting custom attribute values
Values for custom attributes must be assigned to each data element, either via the Element Info view (figure 3.13) for a data element, or for each element listed in the table view of a folder's contents (see https://resources.qiagenbioinformatics.com/manuals/clcgenomicsworkbench/current/index.php?manual=Show_folder_elements_in_table.html).
The text "Not set" appears in red next to attributes with no value set in a data element's Element Info view (figure 3.14). No value is assigned by default.
Note: After editing attribute values in the Element Info view, be sure to save the changes to the element.
To reset an attribute value in the Element Info view, click on "Clear" beside the attribute name. This returns it to the "Not set" state.
Figure 3.13: Custom attribute values are added and edited in the Element Info view of a data element.
Figure 3.14: "Not set" is displayed in red text in the Element Info view for the Hyper_link attribute because no value has been set for that attribute.
The updated, saved attribute information can be searched for, as described in Searching custom attributes.
