The attribute manager is started by clicking on its icon Attribute manager.png in visone's toolbar.

As opposed to node properties dialog and link properties dialog, that only allow to change the value of already existing attributes manually, the attribute manager provides a variety of possibilities related to the creation, configuration and automatical modification of attributes.

There are 4 times 4 selectable categories within the attribute manager, e.g. node attribute configuration:

  • node attributes
  • link attributes
  • dyad attributes
  • graph attributes

The four radio buttons on the left-hand side are used to specify what kind of management one is looking for, namely

  • configuration management (manually)

  • operation involving value management (automtically)
  • import & export management (automatically)
