Has anybody using Base found a way to add a description to an object.
If it has a menu item to add, I'm not sure which to choose.
"Rename" is available for Title, but no "Description".
The main window for Base does show a place to display it in the upper
right hand quadrant.
The following is from HELP.

Quote----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Description
Assigns a title and a description to the selected object. These are
accessible for accessibility tools and as alternative tags when you
export the document.
To access this command...
Open the context menu for the object - choose *Description*
Title
Enter a title text. This short name is visible as an alternative tag
in HTML format. Accessibility tools can read this text.
Description
Enter a description text. The long description text can be entered to
describe a complex object or group of objects to users with screen
reader software. The description is visible as an alternative tag for
accessibility tools.

The key to this is a phrase it contains: "export the document".
When using Writer, this can be use for a variety of documents such as a
graphic or frame. If you right click one of these, the context menu
appears containing *Description*. I have not tried opening a slide
presentation to see if it applies there as well. It likely will.
However, this does not apply to the database objects found in the
main database window. (They are not part of a document.)
