Interface Settings

Use

If you want to group and order characteristics on the value assignment screen according to your own criteria (Values ® Interface design), you must assign a name to the interface design on the Interface tab of the configuration profile. This activates the function on the value assignment screen.

The interface design you define on the value assignment screen is saved for the configurable object. If another configurable object is assigned to the same class, you can enter the interface design for this object, too. The characteristics are then displayed as you defined in the interface design.

However, you can only use an interface design for objects that are assigned to the same class. If the class assignment is not identical (for example, in multiple classification), you cannot enter the interface design you defined.

You can choose Settings to define object-specific settings for functions in the configuration editor. These settings are defaults for configuration, and can be overwritten for your user in the configuration editor.

Prerequisites

The configurable object must be assigned to a class.
