Editing the descriptor - Modifier/Frequency tab

The Modifier/Frequency tab allows definition of modifier and frequency values. The sequence number column ("No.") determines the display sequence in selection lists. You may order the entries by clicking on a column header. With the arrow buttons ( ) you can move the selected entries up or down within the table, clicking button or shifts the selected entries to the top respective bottom of the table. After ordering the entries click button to renumber the table entries (starting with "1" for the first table entry) and make the changes effective. After pressing button column "Use" shows the number of references in the database for each modifier rsp. frequency value.

To enter a new modifier or frequency value, select the empty line on the end of the table and click on the "Modifier" rsp. "Frequency" field to enter the new values. After entering the new entry name automatically a new value for "No." is initialized. To delete an entry, select the entry and press the tool strip button, the Delete key or remove the value in the sequence number column ("No.").
