Move Components

Purpose

Components are arranged within groups in the order in which they should be produced. You can adjust which group a component is in and in what order the components are listed/organized. Components can be moved within a group and moved to alternate groups.

Prerequisites

Before moving components, be sure the following items are finished.

  • Components must exist within the project.
  • When moving components from one group to another, more than one group must exist.
