Collections
Collections are used to structure the elements within the models and can be created as multi-level hierarchies of collections and subcollections.
Add collections
Collections are specified in the subpanel of a model or collection.
A new collection is added by selecting "Add Collection..." in the menu.
It is mandatory to assign a label to the collection. In addition, an order number, a title and a description can be specified.
Clicking "Add" creates the collection.
Edit collections
A collection is edited in the main panel of the collection, by clicking the edit icon (or by selecting "Edit Collection" in the menu).
The edit mode allows the modification of all standard input fields. Additional, customer-specific fields can be added using annotations and will then also appear in the edit mode.
The icons in the lower left corner of the edit view allow further settings to be made:
- Clicking
marks the element as favorite. - Clicking
marks the element as locked. - Clicking
marks the element as read-only.
Clicking "Save" applies the changes.
A collection can be deleted in the main panel of the collection, by selecting "Delete Collection" in the menu.
Order collections
The sorting of the collections is determined by their order (if present). This order can be assigned manually during editing. Alternatively, in the subpanel of the model (or superordinate collection), it is possible to arrange the collections and assign their order automatically.
Selecting "Order Collections..." in the menu opens a dialog, where the collections can be rearranged with the mouse using "drag and drop".
Clicking "Save" applies the changes and reassigns the order automatically.
If required, it is possible to specify that automatic ordering should start at a certain number.
