  • Column with "Copying project" checkbox:

    Activate this checkbox if you want to copy the external project.

  • "Select all" checkbox:

    When this checkbox is activated, all of the external projects are selected and copied when confirming the entries.

    Note

    If the sub-projects contain additional sub-projects with additional references, they will not be copied and retain the same values when released.

  • "Number of Reference Copies": Displays the number of references.

  • Rows: The projects are shown in the rows on the first level and the machines are shown on the second. The machine designation comprises a machine number in parentheses and the machine name.
