Create a User Defined Element Group

If multiple elements of a similar type are to be created in the dictionary database then groups can be used to simplify navigation of the database hierarchy.

A User Defined Element Group (UDETGR) element must be created below a UDET World element. To create a UDETGR element on the Home tab, in the Create group, select Create from the displayed drop-down select UDETGR: User defined element group. A UDETGR element is created and displayed in the Dictionary Explorer.

When a new element is created in the dictionary hierarchy using the Dictionary Explorer and if the Current Element Editor window is open, it automatically updates to display the default attributes for that element.

Note: If the Current Element Editor window is not open, right-click in any Explorer window and select Current Element Editor.

After the creation of a new UDETGR element, use the Current Element Editor window to populate the attributes in the Current Element Editor.

Note: Dependent upon the attribute, other related attributes are enabled or disabled accordingly.

The Dictionary Explorer automatically updates to display the specified name for the element.
