Reorder a Sequence Action

In order to reorder the actions organized within a specific sequence, users have to select the affected sequence first. This is done by clicking on one of the sequence navigation tabs (Installation, Administration, Advertisement) on the upper left corner of the SEQUENCING view, followed by the selection of the actual sequence type (execution or ui).

 

The actions that build a specific sequence will be executed exactly in the order in which they are listed in the sequence action listing on the left-hand side of the SEQUENCING view. Therefore, adjusting the order of actions here automatically adjust the actual sequence execution.

 

There are several ways to change the position of an action within a sequence:

 

By free positioning via drag & drop
 
To freely define the new action position, users have to:
 

1.Left-click on the item that represents the action within the sequence step list view on the left.

2.Keep the mouse key pressed, and drag the action object to the desired position within the sequence. A bar marker indicates where the action would be positioned if the user would stop pressing the mouse key.

3.Stop pressing the mouse key when the desired target position is reached to drop it there.
 

By relative positioning one step earlier or later
 
To move an action one position up or down compared to their current position, users have to:
 

1.Right-click on the item that represents the action within the sequence step list view on the left.

2.Select
Execute earlier to move the action one position up
or
Execute later to move the action one position down
 

Please note that using this relative re-positioning is only available for actually possible movements - executing an action earlier than first or later than last is simply not possible, and therefore not offered for the action at that specific position.
 

By direct positioning to the first or last position
 
To move an action one position up or down compared to their current position, users have to:
 

1.Right-click on the item that represents the action within the sequence step list view on the left.

2.Select
Execute first to move the action to the highest position
or
Execute last to move the action to the lowest position
 

Please note that using this absolute re-positioning is only available for actually possible movements - moving an action to the first (last) position simply does not make sense when the action is already at the first (last) position, and therefore not offered for the action at that specific position.

 

Moving an action up, down, to the first or last position is also possible by clicking the icons displayed within the details pane when an action has been selected. Please note that the icons are displayed slightly faded and are not clickable if a specific option is not possible for the selected action (e. g. move the first action within a sequence one position up or to the first position)
