Package Options
As you define the elements in your specification you can make them easier to reference by giving them more appropriate element names and/or numbers, either as the elements are created or retrospectively when a naming and numbering system has been finalized. You can also make the elements easier to locate and view by enabling level-numbering and indenting, helping you to organize and review the sequence and arrangement of the elements in the Specification Package. If you have been exploring other areas of the Browser window, you can return focus to the Specification Package in the Browser window.

Apply Auto Naming to Elements |
If you had to create elements before setting up an auto-naming and/or auto-numbering system, you can select this option to apply the system to the existing elements retrospectively. If you set up an auto-naming and/or auto-numbering system before creating your elements, that system is automatically applied as you create the elements. |

Level Numbering - Enable |
Click on this option to apply level numbering to the elements in the Specification Package and indent each successive level, both in the Specification Manager and in the Browser window. Nested elements are numbered hierarchically; that is: 1 Name 2 Name 2.1 Name 2.1.1 Name 2.1.2 Name 3 |

Level Numbering - Indent Description |
If you have enabled level numbering, this option is available to indent the element description under each element name, to align with the element name. If the option is not selected, the text is aligned with the left-hand edge of the level number. For example: Option ON: 1 Name Description 2 Name Description 2.1 Name Description 2.1.1 Name Description 2.1.2 Name Description 3 Name Description Option OFF: 1 Name Description 2 Name Description 2.1 Name Description 2.1.1 Name Description 2.1.2 Name Description 3 Name Description |
