Rearrange objects

By default, a running ViewApp shows objects as navigation items that appear in alphabetic order by their names. Alphabetic order may not be the most useful organization for operators. You can rearrange objects to more closely resemble their functional organization.

You can rearrange objects by dragging and dropping them in the Model view of the System Platform IDE. After objects are moved, the Assets listings of objects in the ViewApp and Layout editors update to show the new arrangement.

For example, you could move the Tank_Filters area from its alphabetic location to a new location immediately beneath the Inlet_Outlet_Pumps area. As you move the object, the indentation of a horizontal line indicates the level within the hierarchy where the object will be placed.
