Tag Pane

The tag pane shows the tag elements in a list structure. A wizard is started to help you create new elements. To update existing elements, simply double-click the item to open the wizard. You can make direct changes to the tag elements in the list by placing the cursor in the list cell or selecting an item from the combo box lists. To ease handling of many items, multiple rows can be selected and changes applied to all selected elements. The list shows all properties of the tag element in a clearly arranged manner. All commands available in this pane are directly accessible from the toolbar or pop-up menu.
