# Traced Objects Attribute

The **TracedObjectsAttribute** displays traced objects of a specific type in a table. The table allows editing of traced objects, which means traces can be added or removed, and attributes can be edited.

## Example

The following example defines a Traced Objects Attribute that displays traced objects of type Task.

### XML

```xml
<TracedObjectsAttribute Name="Task Flow">
  <TracedType TypeName="Task">
    <DisplayedAttribute Name="Title" />
    <DisplayedAttribute Name="System Response" />
    <DisplayedAttribute Name="Use Environment" />
    <DisplayedAttribute Name="Patient Involved" />
    <DisplayedAttribute Name="Sterility Involved" />
  </TracedType>
</TracedObjectsAttribute>
```
