If you follow the above example then the value for HeatLoss would be added to the Part Record the same way any other Symbol text can be pulled up when a part number is assigned. Exactly the way we have the current rating for amps on fuses in our sample parts database records, and can be used in report templates. In the Attribute_Text Field you have the name of the attribute, then a colon, then the value you want to appear in that field on the symbol. So for example on our fuses we would have "Current: 1 Amp". If you do want a separate column just for this text in your parts database, then you would first need to go to the Setup dialog in Promis.e and use the Mapping function to assign your custom name HeatLoss to one of the user definable columns in the Parts Database. There are I believe 50 User columns available for any custom functions users want. Once you have mapped any User column to your custom name, then it will be available in the Customize section of the Parts Database Manager for you to arrange in the dialog.
