Quick Set/Quick Insert Buttons

Throughout Cable Management where you choose a location for a component or, in the Cable Path, where you insert a component, you will find shortcut buttons (Quick Set and Quick Insert) that allow you to quickly choose a location.

When you click on the Quick Set or Quick Insert button, the Navigator Tree is highlighted (its background turns blue), and you can simply click on the location on the tree to incorporate the information for that location into the component's detail record.

View Most Recently Added Items

Many fields in the Detail View in Cable Management have a Recent button next to them. When you place your cursor over this button, a floating window will appear that displays the following:

•The 10 most recently modified items in that component category, and the date each was modified.

•The 10 most recently added items in that component category, and the date each was modified.

This information is particularly helpful when adding or modifying component information.

Copy Capabilities

Cable Management provides several options for copying existing data to other locations in Cable Management or to entirely separate applications, such as Microsoft Excel and Word. These copy capabilities are always available in the List View pane and can be used by clicking on any of these three buttons:

•Copy

•To Excel

•To Clipboard

Copy Button

Cable Management's Copy capability is a great time saver available throughout the application. This feature is always located in the List View pane and can be used by clicking on the Copy button. If used properly it will minimize typing time and user errors. The Copy capability allows a selected item to be completely copied into the Detail View area, where you can then modify any information. This is especially helpful for creating new components that closely resemble already-built components.
