Extended Path Notation - Referencing Sub Attributes

Sub attributes (i.e. attributes defined as children of other attributes) can be referenced using the extended path notation.

The extended path, supports a hierarchical path and takes the form:

[attribute]\[attribute]\...\Attribute

Where:

• \ - separates attribute names (hierarchy)
• [attribute] - parent attribute name can be specified or omitted
• Attribute - represents the child attribute

Examples

\Attribute1

We are referring to the sub attribute whose name contains [Attribute1].

info

Notice that if more than one attribute has a child attribute whose name contains [Attribute1], the first occurrence will be used.

\\Attribute1

We are referring to a second level child attribute whose name contains [Attribute1].

info

Notice that if more than one attribute has a second level child attribute whose name contains [Attribute1], the first occurrence will be used.

\Attribute\Attribute1

We are referring to a second level child attribute whose name contains [Attribute1 ]and whose parent attribute name contains [Attribute].

info

Notice that if more than one attribute has a second level child attribute whose name contains [Attribute1], and whose parent attribute name contains [Attribute] the first occurrence will be used.
