Sub-sequence Properties

When you double-click a secondary (child) sequence name within a scenario, the Sequence Properties dialog box displays. In this dialog box, you can define the properties. Two required properties for a sub- sequence include:

• Loop
• Description

Refer to Outer Sequence Properties, for definitions of each.

Note:

This process assumes that you completed the procedures for Defining Basic Elements of a Sequence Scenario, and created a dataset. Refer to DataSet Editor, for procedures for creating datasets.

To define a Sequence or Sub-sequence, follow these steps:

1. From the Windows menu, select Sequence Patterns.

   The Sequence Scenario Editor displays.

2. From the Scenario menu of the Sequence Scenario Editor, select Create New Scenario or Open Existing Scenario.
3. Select a scenario from the Scenario/Pattern dialog box if Open Existing Scenario is used. For Create New Scenario, refer to Creating a Scenario.
4. Double-click the SEQ [DESCRIPTION] string in the Pattern Editor field, in the Sequence Scenario Editor.

   The Sequence Properties dialog box displays.

5. Type the string name in the Name field as you want it to display in the Pattern Editor field.
6. Click Ok.

   The Pattern Editor field in the Sequence Scenario Editor dialog box, now contains the name that you specified in Step 2.

7. Click Scenario, highlight Add Sequence, and then select As Child to add another sequence to your pattern.
8. Double-click the sequence you just added.
9. Type the desired name in the Pattern Editor in the Description field.
10. Define the remaining optional fields (Distance, Loop, and Prefix) as desired.
11. Add Sub-sequences, as desired; complete all of the above steps for each.

Note:

The depreciated Distance parameter is no longer used. It appears in the editor only to provide compatibility with previous versions of the Scenario Manager.
