An analysis can be structured into several process sequence sections. Here, TiCon automatically calculates the subtotals of the respective sections, where one section consists of all lines with the same section number (column Sec. no.), independent from their position in the structure. Sections can be provided with factors (column Sec. factor). When copying section lines, certain rules are applied.
Please note: |
For an efficient and structured operation with MTM and TiCon, reusable small elements are required. Analyses with process sequence sections do not meet this requirement. This working method should therefor be avoided in principle or only be used in well-founded exceptional cases. The use of process sequence sections is permitted in the Administration for each element configuration (process element). This function is activated in the delivery state. MTM-1/2® does not support this function. |
In the ribbon of the structure and in the context menu, there are the following options for Sections:
A new section is inserted. All lines below will be assigned to this section until an already existing section is achieved. |
A new section is inserted above the selected line. Selected lines will be assigned to this section. |
A new section is inserted. The lines below will not be assigned to this section. |
(= move line in section) On the basis of their section number, all structure lines are moved below the section headline to which they are assigned to. |
(= assign new section numbers for headline and lines) All section headlines are numbered consecutively - depending from their current order. For the lines assigned to a new section the changed numbers are taken over, so the assignment of the lines to the headlines is remained. Renumber should always be executed in those cases, when a new section has been inserted between already consisting sections. Strg + Shift + Z |
(= change section number according to headline) This function assigns all lines under a headline section to one section. All assignments carried out before are overwritten. Strg + Shift + N |
Please note: |
The options "Re-assign/Renumber sections during saving" can be activated via the Administration, so that these functions are carried out automatically during saving. |
Arranges the section headlines temporarily at the top. This option is activated or deactivated by clicking on it and is not retained after the element is closed. It only influences the display in the "Structure" tab. |
Sections in the structure
Sections are taken into account in the standard printing options of structures of MTM Analyses.
