Inserting Steps

To insert a step:

1. Highlight the section or step that you want to precede the new step.

   For example, if you want the new step to be the first step in the section, select the section node. Otherwise, select the existing step that you want the new step to follow.

   Note:

   The name of the section in which you insert the step appears to the right of the step description. In large programs, this step enables you to determine the section in which a step resides if the section is not in view. Also, note that a sequence number appears on each step (001, 002, 003, and so on) so that you can determine the order of a step within a section. The sequence numbering for steps begins at 001 within each section.

2. Select Insert, Step/Action.

   By default, the steps are given a default name of StepN+1 beginning with Step01. Rename the step to better define the type of action this step contains.

   Note:

   The designer continues to increment the step name until it has a unique step name within a section. If the designer is unable to create a unique name after 80 attempts, a new step is not inserted.

3. Specify a step name and the remaining values.

   To rename a step, position the cursor in the step name edit box and enter a custom name. Only accept the default name for building quick, simple programs and for training purposes.
