This expandable item provides following options:

• Default naming attribute. Displays the default naming attribute currently selected for each object type.
• Add. Adds a new naming attribute for the selected object type.
• Edit. Allows you to edit the name of the naming attribute currently specified for the selected object type.
• Remove. Removes the currently selected entry from the list.

• Available attributes. Lists the attributes that are available in the external data system. Use this list to select the attributes whose values you want to use to generate a unique identifier for each object in the external data system. You can filter attributes by typing in the text box at the top of this list. To select multiple attributes, hold down CTRL and click to select attributes in the list.
• UniqueID attributes. Lists the attributes whose values are currently used to generate a unique identifier for each object in the external data system.
• Add->. Moves the selected attributes from the Available attributes list to the UniqueID attributes list.
