How to Create Options Groups


Options groups can be created under Configuration>Manage Model>Add Group in a similar manner to adding any other group (table). Options groups can be created within a configuration pack or within a project.

You will need to select the check box for ‘Options Group’. This will gray out the Project Explorer Folder drop-down since all Options groups will automatically be stored in the Options folder (see below).

You will need to select a Parent Group. Currently, there are 2 options: Project and Location Details…

Project Options

With Project as the Parent Group (referred to as ‘Project Options’), you will be able to store an Option that can be used across all Locations in the project. For example, if you wanted to have all logs in a project show 10 m per page, you could have a Project Options group with a ‘Units Per Page’ Option that you set to 10 m per page.

        

Location Options

With Location Details as the Parent Group (referred to as ‘Location Options’), you will be able to store an Option for each Location in the project. For example, if you wanted to have some logs in a project show 5 m per page and some show 20 m per page, you could have a Location Options group with a ‘Units Per Page’ Option set accordingly for each Location.
