1. Attribute Deletion Button

Button to delete a given attribute. Will be disabled on default Values that are automatically generated for all VOs and VPs. This button will be gray and have the text “\*This is a default Value” if it is not able to be deleted.

2. Attribute Creation Button

Creates a new blank attribute.

3. Attribute Name

The identifier of the given attribute. It does need to be assigned to an entity. The default is the entity of the space. We recommend that every Attribute on each entity have a unique identifier but this is not required by the system.

4. Entity Name

Name of the entity the attribute can be found under. Will default to the entity of the space.

5. Type Identifier

The type of the given attribute. This can be any of the following values: Integer, Float, Boolean, String, or SMEntity. SMEntitys are not currently fully supported and are coming in a future version.

6. Type Value

The value of the attribute at the start of the simulation. The value will automatically be forced to conform to the type specified by the Type Identifier.
