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.

Begin 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.

Thanks

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.)
