To add a new root feature, users should click on the Create button above the tree view of already added features, and select the option New root feature from the menu.
To add a child feature to an already existing (root or child) feature, users should right-click the desired parent feature and select the option New feature from the context menu. Additionally, clicking the Insert key on the keyboard also adds a new sub-feature to the currently selected item.
Any new feature is generated automatically with the feature property value “New feature” and title property value “NewFeature”. The feature column value of features has to be unique. Therefore, if another feature is already using the default value, a unique index extension is automatically added (e. g., “NewFeature_1” or “NewFeature_2”).
The new feature is automatically added to the existing tree structure. Its position within the sort sequence of the desired level is determined by the value of the property “feature”, which is displayed as the label of features within the tree structure. However, it is always possible to change the default order by simply applying drag and drop and moving features (with all their child nodes) to any other location within the tree structure.
All other properties of new features are set to the default values. This system behavior leads to visible features, which are always installed into the INSTALLDIR. To alter these defaults, users have to edit the new feature.
