Used to display objects that are part of the same connectivity set, and propagate harness attribute values to selected objects.

Figure 232: Propagate Harness Tab

Objects

Object	Description
Propagate Selected Rows	Click to propagate the harness attribute value in the New column to the objects in the selected rows only. Use to preserve any values on objects with valid differences, such as variant connectors or poke home wires, when the rows with warnings are cleared. Optional.
Propagate All Rows	Click to propagate the harness attribute value in the New column to the objects in all the rows listed on the tab, including rows with Warning messages. Optional.
Filter Popup	Hover over the header cell on each column to display the Filter button (). Click to open the Filter Popup to configure visibility and filtering on the column. Note The Filter button () remains pinned to the column header if you have applied a filter on the column. Optional.
Object	If you have added or modified a harness attribute value, the column displays additional objects that comprise part of the same connectivity set. You can select or clear the Selection check box to choose whether the harness attribute value in the New column is applied to the objects when you use the Propagate action. Default is selected. Note The default is cleared if a Warning icon () is displayed, to ensure that you consider any inconsistencies that would impact other designs, such as values on shared objects. A “tick” () is displayed on objects if the harness attribute has been propagated and the update is consistent with the values in the connectivity set. Optional.
Object Type	Displays the type of object included in the connectivity set.
Message	Displays the status of objects, for example “Updated” or “Ready to update”, and reports the reason and impact to objects and designs if you propagate to objects with missing or conflicting harness attribute values.
Current	Displays the harness attribute value applied to the object. Blank if unavailable.
New	Displays the added or modified harness attribute value that is available to propagate to the objects in the connectivity set.
Design	Displays the name of the design that contains the object, and lists additional updated designs if you propagate harness attribute values to shared objects.
