The design list shows designs in the current project. If the Stand-alone button is checked, then the design list shows designs for the last project selected in the tree. If the Stand-alone button is not checked, the design list shows designs stored in the currently selected PIM.
In Details view, basic properties are shown for each design (type of the design, modification date, user who last modified the design, person who is using the design, if any, description). Columns can be hidden/shown by clicking the Right Mouse button over a column header and checking/unchecking the appropriate column title. The list can be sorted by any column by clicking the Left Mouse button on a column header. The list will toggle between ascending/descending sort.
Operations on one or more designs can be carried out by selecting them in the list and clicking the Right Mouse button, or the appropriate toolbar button. The following operations are available:
