Command: Visualization Element List
Symbol: 
Function: The command opens the Element List tab for the current visualization.
Call: menu
Requirement: A visualization is open in the editor.
Tab: Element List
This tab lists all elements used in the currently open visualization. It is possible to edit the displayed element properties (position, size, name) and the tab order. Moreover, an overview of the permissions set is provided in the Access Rights column as well as in the element properties.
Benefit: The list allows a value to be edited while taking into account the values of the other elements.
Grouped elements are displayed in a subordinate tree structure and get a subordinate hierarchy level within the group, thereby having their own order.
The current selection in the list is always synchronized with the selection in the main window of the editor.
The order in the element list from top to bottom describes the order of the elements on the display layers of the visualization from back to front.
When you insert elements one after the other, they will be arranged starting from "back" to "front", starting with position 0 and on each subsequent layer further forward. Use the commands from the Visualization → Order menu to move an element in the editor and the element list will update accordingly.
Type | Element type and symbol, as displayed in the Visualization Toolbox view, as well as the element number which specifies the display layer.

Tab Order | Position within the order in which you can jump from element to element in the editor by means of the tab key when the default keyboard usage is activated. The activation is done on the Settings tab of the Visualization Manager. Note that elements within a group or group box have their own order (different hierarchy level). By removing the displayed value, you exclude the element from the selection using tab or arrow keys. |
Context menu command: Move to Position | Requirement: The focus is in the Tab order column. The tab order initially corresponds to the order in which the elements are arranged on the layers from back to front (Type above). To change the position in the order for an element, you can specify a different number directly in the table field. You can also use the Move to Position context menu command to open a dialog for specifying a new position. Bold fonts indicate changed position specifications. |
Context menu command: Reset to Default | Requirement: The focus is in the Tab order column. You can use the Reset to Default context menu command to reset a changed position to the original position. This can be done simultaneously for a multiselection of elements when they do not belong to different hierarchy levels (groupings). |
