Difficulty Types
Developing a particular element might be a simple task or more complex. In the element Properties definition, the level of difficult of developing that element is defined in the Difficulty field. You can select the appropriate value from a drop-down list, which initially contains the system values High, Medium and Low. You can add to or replace any of these values with your own custom values.

For example: you have several Change elements on a diagram, and you select Diagram View; then you sort on the Difficulty column. The Diagram View entries are grouped by difficulty, in the order you defined in this Type field.
