Hi Fredrik, As Hans says, you can expose these with the AttributeExposer. But if there is a format attribute in the manual that does not appear in the Workbench tab then let us know via [EMAIL PROTECTED] and we'll add it in. It's a relatively simple thing for us to do.
Of course, some format attributes have more than one value and are therefore a list type attribute. If your format attribute is one of these type then you'd need to expose the individual entities separately within the workspace. Either right-click the list and choose expose, or set a number of them to expose when you expose the format attribute itself. Hope this helps Mark Mark Ireland, Senior Product Specialist Safe Software Inc.
