| <div><p>A global attribute is an attribute that can be recognized anywhere |
| in a document. Once declared, a global attribute can be referenced in one |
| or more declarations using an attribute reference. </p><div class="skipspace"><p>The following instructions were written for the Resource perspective, |
| but they will also work in many other perspectives. </p> |
| <p>To add a global |
| attribute, follow these steps:</p> |
| </div> |
| <ol><li class="skipspace"><span>Open your XML schema in the XML schema editor.</span></li> |
| <li class="skipspace"><span>In the Outline view, select your schema.</span> The entire |
| schema and its contents should be displayed in the Graph view.</li> |
| <li class="skipspace"><span>In the Graph view, right click in the <b>Attributes</b> section |
| and click <span class="uicontrol">Add Global Attribute</span>.</span></li> |
