3.2.15 Reorder Objects in the Configuration Components Area
There are multiple ways you can reorder objects in the Configuration Components area. Commands available
from the right-click menu let you reorder selected objects, as well as alphabetically reorder objects listed
directly under a category or appearing within a group.
To reorder selected objects in the Configuration Components area:
1. Right-click an object or group.
2. In the menu that appears, choose Order, then select one of the following:
• Up One Layer to move the item one level up in the hierarchy. If the item is already the top object in
the category, or within a group, this command has no effect.
• Down One Layer to move the item one level down in the hierarchy. If the item is already the bottom
object in the category, or within a group, this command has no effect.
• To Top Layer to move the item to the top level in the hierarchy. This moves the item to the top of the
category or to the top of the group. If the item is already the top object in the category, or within a
group, this command has no effect.
• To Bottom Layer to move the item to the bottom level in the hierarchy.
To alphabetically reorder objects in the Configuration Components Area:
• Click the either a category (Processes, Global Variables, Documents, or Printer Queues) or a group and
choose View | Arrange | Sort by Name.

3.2.16 Group and Ungroup Objects in the Configuration Components Area
Group items in the Configuration Components area to facilitate the organization of your work (see Grouping
Objects (Page 0)). Groups also allow you to assign multiple documents to multiple PlanetPress Suite printer
queues.
You group items only within their own category. Thus you can only group processes with other processes,
documents with other documents, and printer queues with other printer queues. In the documents category,
you can only group documents with others of the same version and type. For example, you can only group
documents from PlanetPress Design6 (files with a PTK extension) with other PTK files, not with printer-
resident documents.
