Link a user-defined property to its base property

A user-defined property on a:
  • screen shortcut
  • Screen Navigate command
  • Button Behavior event that navigates to a screen on a release
  • Popup Open command
inherits its value from a base property.The base property is the property as defined on the screen or popup called by the shortcut or navigation command.
Link
Linked to base property next to a property in the
Properties
tab indicates that the value of the property is linked to its associated base property. If
Unlink
Unlinked from base property is displayed, the property is unlinked from the base property and is no longer inheriting the value of the base property.
To link a user-defined property to its base property
  • Next to the property in the
    Properties
    tab, select
    Unlink
    Unlinked from base property and select
    Link to base property
    .
    Link
    Linked to base property appears, and the screen property inherits the value of the base property.
    Tips:
    • If you create a screen navigation to a shortcut, you create a link to the property on the shortcut, not to the base property.
    • The Border property does not support linking and unlinking.
    • User-defined data type properties are always unlinked for an Add-On Graphic. User-defined properties on an instance of an Add-On Graphic cannot link to the definition of the Add-On Graphic because there is no default value for the user-defined property on the definition.
