How to create an Attribute set

Question

Hi Everyone,
i am learning OAF....right now going through PPR.I was referring the sample tutorials where i came across attribute sets in the PPR Example, which i believe were created as per requirement.So not able to proceed further till i get some clue abt how to create an attribute set as per my requirement.Tried to refer dev guide but not able to grab the concept
Can anyone tell me where exactly do i need attribute sets(i am only aware that it is used to provide the look n feel to the browser) and how to go abt creating one.
Thanks

Thanks for replying
i'd like u to see the PartialPageExample in sampleLibrary project..There is a function being called in the CO from SampleBrowserAM which is
public void handleSupplierSelectionEvent()
OADBTransaction txn = getOADBTransaction();
String detailTableText = null;
// Find the selected radio button so we can mark the current row.
OAViewObject vo = (OAViewObject)findViewObject("SuppliersVO1");
// Get the first filtered row.
Row masterRow = vo.getFirstFilteredRow ("SelectFlag", "Y");
if (masterRow != null)
vo.setCurrentRow(masterRow);
String supplierName = (String)masterRow.getAttribute("Name");
MessageToken[] tokens = { new MessageToken("SUPPLIER_NAME", supplierName)};
detailTableText =
txn.getMessage("AK", "FWK_TBX_SITES_FOR_SUPPLIER", tokens); }
else
// If there are no selected rows, display a default generic message.
detailTableText =
txn.getMessage("AK", "FWK_TBX_SUPPLIER_SITES", null);
// Now set the text message on the DETAIL_TABLE_TEXT attribute in
// the application properties VO.
SampleBrowserPVOImpl appPropsVo = getSampleBrowserPVO1();
Row appPropsRow = appPropsVo.getCurrentRow();
if (appPropsRow != null)
appPropsRow.setAttribute("DetailTableText", detailTableText);
} // end handleSupplierSelectionEvent()
i am not able to understand the text in bold in the code above.how do i refer to it, where is it stored, what is it doing , and it is maybe specific to the supplier table coz i cannot use it for my custom table...can u pls explain
