Specifying a Tool to Enable Problem Number Entry

6. Double-click the Title value cell, and then type Problem Number Dialog.
7. Double-click the Resource Processing value cell, and then select UPDATE.
8. Click OK.
9. The dialog box should have the problem number as an input field.

   Right-click OFFL_TOOL_AWM_Dialog_GetProblemNumber, and then click New Child > Dialog Field.

10. Right-click String Input Parameter, and then click Edit.

    This opens the Edit Properties dialog box.

11. Double-click the Target ID Parm field, and then select OFFL_PROP_CONT_ProblemNumber.
12. Click OK.
13. You can now preview the dialog box that the Open Modeled Dialog tool creates:

    Right-click OFFL_TOOL_AWM_Dialog_GetProblemNumber, and then click Preview Dialog.
