Indicator Columns
An element specification can have any of a number of resources associated with it. You can obtain a quick indication that resources exist for the element by displaying the corresponding column (selected from the 'Field Chooser' dialog) on the Specification Manager; if the resource exists, an icon displays in the column against that element. When an indicator is displayed, you can double-click on the icon to immediately access the record or the first in a set of records for the element, in the corresponding window. You can use these windows to edit, delete or (where appropriate) add to the records against the element.
The Package you are reviewing might also contain elements of a number of different types, so it is helpful to be able to see at a glance what the type is of the element you are reviewing. In the 'Specification - Specify > Display' ribbon panel, select the 'Element Icon' checkbox to display an icon representing the element type, to the left of each element name.
