Tool control: Groups tab

Groups are created and configured in the Tool management > Tool control > Groups tab. The groups can be used to classify types. The groups can be used to filter and find types more easily. The created groups are shown in the filter criteria in the tabs Tool management > Tools & components and Tool management > Types. A type can only be assigned to one group. Additional properties can be added to the group in order to categorize the groups better.

When a group is selected, the group opens and the following tabs appear:

• General

Tool control: Groups tab — Properties

If a group is selected in the Tool Management > Tool Control > Group tab, the detailed view opens. The properties of the group can be changed in the detailed view in the Properties tab.

A default value can be defined for each property. If a default value is defined, this value is assigned to each type in the group when it is assigned to a group. If a property is required, a value must be entered or selected in the tool or component of the types for it to be released.

Enter or select the value of a property in the tool or component

When a type is assigned to a group, the properties of the group are taken from the type. Changes to properties of the group are transferred to already created types and tools or components of the type.
