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.
