| + | As attribute Sets allow the user to predefine attribute values for a list of positions, Attribute Sums have a display and listing function. They allow the user to define list of attributes which will be added up and then displayed in Metis Smart Quotes. For example, 2 attributes have been define for specifying the number of ports related to positions by type (USB 2.0 and USB 3.0). By defining an list as "USB Ports" and placing those 2 attributes in it, the defined Attribute Sum will add up the 2 information for each position and display the result. Please refer to the this section for an example in Metis Smart Quotes. | ||
