How can I change the structure?​

Use the structure editor to change your structure online.

I changed the structure, but still the old one is shown.​

Much like an update of an asset or any other change to data in Txture, the change of the structure results in a new timestamp of the database. Hence the "new timestamp available"-notification is shown in the upper right corner. Click on it to switch to the new timestamp.

How does one change the options of an enumeration property?​

In the structure editor select a new "Edit -> Change property type" operation. Proceed to select the property in question and set the Property Type to Enumeration. You are now presented with the current enumeration options and free to change them.

Which type of asset duplicate check exists in Txture?​

Txture does not check itself for duplicate entries, because the criteria for what is considered a duplicate can be manifold and names in Txture do not have to be unique. However, Txture offers an option to consolidate duplicate assets using a set of rules. Typical examples include merging virtual machines imported from several sources by their IP.

I added a new property, but it's not showing up in the asset detail sidebar! What am I doing wrong?​

Two likely causes:

  • Click on the new timestamp available icon in the main navigation. Maybe the new timestamp hasn't been loaded yet.
  • Adding a new property is a two-step process: Since properties can be used for many asset-types it is necessary to first create them and then link them to the asset-type. If you have an unlinked property, there will be a yellow warning below your operations list in the structure editor. Click on "Edit -> Link property" to link the newly created property to an asset-type.

How can I undo changes and jump to a prior state?​

All data stored in Txture is versioned. This means that all previous states are kept and can, therefore, be restored. Jumping to a prior state is done via the Time Machine. From version 16 on, the time machine can be accessed via the Time Machine and Scenarios button in the main navigation.
