If you do not want to display the characteristics individually on the value assignment screen, select Summarize.

Tabs are summarized automatically.

Note

The Summarize function does not apply to the Sequence indicator.

Confirm.

You see the processing screen, where you can define the user interface for the grouped characteristics.

Choose Characteristics. Select the characteristics that you want to group together.

Changing an Interface Design

Save your interface design.

Deleting an Interface Design
