Tutorial Sort Descriptors

Tutorial - Sort the descriptors

In the tutorial steps when we created a new descriptor, we usually set the field “Nr.” (sequence number), which determines the sequence the descriptors are displayed in several lists, e.g. when you enter description data. If you like to change that display sequence, it is quite uncomfortable, to go through all descriptors and change the sequence numbers manually, but there is a much more comfortable way. Select edit mode projects from menu Edit->Projects or from the bottom control (see point 1 in image below). Now click on the button to find the project “Tutorial” (see points 2 and 3 in image below). Open the “Descriptor tree” tab and expand the trees (see points 4 and 5 in image below). 

The “Descriptor tree” tab in the “Edit projects” mode looks almost like that one in the “Edit descriptors” mode. But there are some important differences. If you are in the “Edit descriptor” mode, only the actually selected descriptor will be displayed in the tree. In the “Edit projects” mode all descriptors are diplayed! Therefore the descriptors may now be shifted up and down to change the order (see points 1 and 2 in image below). 

 

Now select the “Descriptor tree for tutorial” and click button (see image below left). With this action you indicate that this descriptor tree should be complete, i.e. it contains all descriptors for the project. Now the additional button is displayed that allows to take over of the descriptor tree order to the descriptor’s sequence numbers (see image below right).

   

When you click on button a window opens that displays the changed sequence numbers of the descriptors (see imabe above). After confirming the changes with “OK” the new order will be effective in the descriptor list of the “Edit descriptions” (see image below).
