Rack order in rack view
This feature results in two types of selection interactions between plan view and rack view.
The first interaction allows you to stress a direction during the selection process, which helps the application
understand the intended presentation order. This involves eight areas of emphasis that can be used. Order is
determined by which axis of the selection receives the most attention. For example, if you drag to the right and
then down, the application responds by ordering the x coordinate and then the y, which is useful in selecting a
horizontal row.
In addition to the drag method, the arrow keys can also be used to determine the presentation order. If you create
a new selection and then add to that selection using the click method in conjunction with the control key, the
racks are ordered in the same order as they were selected.
The image shows how you can use the multiple selection method to set the order of racks in rack view. The
numbered boxes show the rack in plan view. The arrows show the direction of selection for presentation of racks
in rack view.
• If you select and drag from left to right or right to left and then down, the order is horizontal precedence
over vertical precedence.
• If you select and drag from top to bottom or bottom to top and then drag from right to left, the order is
vertical over horizontal.
