Drag and drop properties onto the file descriptors. You need to add the following properties to the file descriptors you have just created:

1. In the Properties category, highlight TUTORIAL_PROP_ELE_EleType and TUTORIAL_PROP_STATIC_IssueFilter.
2. Drag and drop onto the TUTORIAL_FD_StaticIssueFilterList file descriptor.

   This opens the Create Relationships dialog box:

   
   
   
3. Click OK.

   The TUTORIAL_FD_StaticIssueFilterList file descriptor should look like this:

   
   
   
4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 for the TUTORIAL_FD_StaticIssuePriorityList file descriptor. Drag and drop the following properties onto the file descriptor:
   • TUTORIAL_PROP_ELE_EleType
   • TUTORIAL_PROP_ELE_Priority

   The TUTORIAL_FD_StaticIssuePriorityList file descriptor should look like this:

   
   
   
5. Repeat steps 1 through 3 for the TUTORIAL_FD_IssueList file descriptor. Drag and drop the following properties onto the file descriptor:
