Selected

1. Selected
This part contains the main Object including all the Attributes (or the main Interaction including all Parameters) selected from the Available in FOM list (right most).
Although several Objects can be selected inside one only FedItem, it is advisable not to do it even if this can work (user must know what they are doing in such process).
 
The main (or base) Object or Interaction is the one with a circle at the left.
When the circle is green, it means that the Object is ready to Publish or Subscribe.
 
Attributes or Parameters appears listed below the base Object/Interaction.
When the Attribute/Parameter name is ticked with a green mark, it means ready to be used for Publish or Subscribe. Otherwise, it will be ignored by the RTI.
