7.6.4 Configuring Multiple Points
The spreadsheet mode is one of the methods used to configure points. This method is the most
beneficial when editing and viewing multiple points of the same type. Spreadsheets of each
defined point are found in the Spreadsheet Summary section in the main window.
There are some differences between the regular and spreadsheet methods. First, the user is not
able to view the Point Connections window in Spreadsheet Mode. This mode is used mainly for
viewing and entering point data. Second, the spreadsheet focuses on points of a single type; it
does not offer a “big picture” view of multiple point types.
Adding Multiple Points
The user is able to add a point by using the same method used to add single points.
The user can click on the Add Point icon or push-button from the toolbar or by
selecting Add from the Point menu in the Main window. Once the point is added, the
user is then able to define the point. Defined points appear in the Point Icon Selection
Area and in the Spreadsheet Summary of the Main window.
Note The user can add a point by selecting Add from the Point menu in the Spreadsheet
Mode window. This menu is described later in the section.
