Create new element:
To create a new element, the object under which this new element is to be added must be marked in advance. The marked object is
then shaded gray. After selecting , a “New Element” popup opens in which the user is offered the selection of elements that are pos-
sible for the chosen position in the tree (e.g., if it is included in the hierarchy level “building” of the location tree, it is possible to create
“levels” or “rooms”). Once the required element type has been selected, it is then necessary to define an element ID and the number of
elements to be created. The element ID can also be created automatically by a logic defined in the settings; this is mandatory to create
several elements of the same type. After creating one or several elements, the newly created element is selected automatically (the first
one if several elements are created) and the creation of a subordinate element starts. The process is only concluded when the user
explicitly closes (command CLOSE) the popup “New Element”. The newly created element/s is/are marked with a “+” until they have
been saved.
