Dialog Select identifier subclasses

In this dialog you select an identifier subclass, to be used for generating a new DT, from a selection list. The selected subclass is used at planning objects to generate a new product aspect. (The identifier subclasses are stored in the project settings under "Project name" > Devices > Numbering (online).)

Overview of the main dialog elements:

Direct entry:

Enter a string of characters into this field. As soon as you enter the first character, the cursor jumps to the first entry in the Subclass column that begins with that character and marks it. If this character / entry is not found in the Subclass column, a search is carried out in the Subclass task column and – if it exists – the first entry is marked there.

Subclass / Subclass task:

In the Subclass column, select the desired designation of the identifier subclass and click [OK]. These characters are then adopted in the Displayed DT field in the component properties dialog. This generates a new DT and any existing identifiers are discarded.

Popup menu:

The popup menu provides - depending on the field type (date, integer, multilingual, etc.) - the following menu items:

Transfer subclass task to function text:

Not available for planning objects! If this check box is activated, the text from the Subclass task column is transferred to the function text, if the function is a main function. Existing function texts are overwritten in the process. Multilingual texts are transferred into all languages. No text is transferred for auxiliary functions.
