You may edit them. If the title and description are not specified while creating the component, then you can specify them in the relevant boxes.
e. If you select a component of type Other or Composite UI, and if the target URL to be used by this component is not specified in Progress Developer Studio for OpenEdge, then you can specify the target URL. If the target URL is specified in Progress Developer Studio for OpenEdge, then you can edit it if required.
You can specify the target URL in any one of the following ways.
Absolute URL: This is the complete URL including the protocol, host name and port number.
Server Alias: You can specify the URL using the server alias ‘${<server-alias-name>}’ notation. For example, in the case of Apama, you can specify "${Apama1}/tutorial/main".
Relative URL: You can specify the URL relative to the server alias. In this case, the server alias is to be specified at runtime, that is, while adding the component to the dashboard. For example, "/tutorial/main".
f. You can add the parameter names and their values in the Parameters table if it is displayed.
If the target URL is a relative URL, then you must specify the server configuration by selecting a server from the Server Configuration drop-down list.
