Access
To sequence the properties assigned to an object, click the Sequence button in the "Properties" section of the object creation/modification dialog box.
This dialog box displays the list of properties assigned to a repository object. It is used to sequence this list by resequencing its items.
Note: When the dialog box relates to logical properties, an additional button (Display) is available.
Lists
Objects to be sequenced
List of properties assigned to the object in the repository.
When an item is selected in the list, its name and sequence number appear in the input fields located above the list, where they can be modified.
Single-selection list.
Data entry
Seq. No.
Sequence number of the current item, which name appears on the left of this field.
This is an integer numeric value which only support digits ranging from "0" to "9" and the sign "-".
Length: 6 positions maximum (6 integers, or 5 integers and a sign "-").
A sequence number can be negative, but we strongly recommend against this.
A sequencing by steps of 100 is advisable.
