Multi-Assistant (as of BUSINESS Professional)

The properties of several objects can be changed simultaneously using the multi-assistant function. For example, test intervals can be changed for all objects in the list view.

The multi-assistant is available in the “Enter, Change, Lists” view for portable or stationary objects in the activated list view (green outline) (see „The “Enter, Change, Lists” Function“). The multi-assistant is also available in the test data preview.

The multi-assistant consists of four tabs: FIELDS, TEST SQUENCES, CUSTOMER and LOCATION.

Field content for selected object properties can be entered to a list of devices or changed here.

► First select the desired devices via the various selection functions, e.g. via tree selections or the Filter Editor Function.

The selected devices are displayed in the list view.

► If you want to assign new field content to selected devices only, the corresponding lines have to be selected. Otherwise, the selection applies to all devices in the list.

► After clicking the

icon, the multi-assistant tab menu appears.

► The “FIELDS” tab is already selected by default.

► Specify whether the action will be executed for all objects, or only for selected objects.

► Select an entry from the pull-down menu in the PROPERTY field.

► Enter the desired alphanumeric value to the VALUE field.
