Sequence a Family Field

All the fields within a family are assigned a field sequence number, which determines the order in which fields will be displayed, loaded, and processed during certain operations. The default field sequence number is assigned automatically by the GE Digital APM system when a field is created, but if you want, you can change the field sequence for a family. The Family Fields Sequence Order window contains a list that displays all the fields in a given family. The list does not include the field sequence numbers, instead, the order in which the fields are listed corresponds to the sequence number defined for each field.

When you select the Save on the Family Fields Sequence Order window, the fields will be assigned a sequence number that corresponds to the order in which they are displayed in the list on the Family Fields Sequence Order window. The first field in the list will be assigned a 1, the second field will be assigned a 2, the third field will be assigned a 3, and so on. You can reorganize fields within the list to determine the sequence number that will be assigned to each field. Note that the actual field sequence number values are unimportant. It is the order of each sequence number relative to the sequence numbers defined for other fields in the same family.

Steps

Access the Fields section.
Select .

The Family Fields Sequence Order window appears.

The order of the fields in the list is an exact representation of the field sequence. The list contains all fields that exist for the selected family, including any fields that have been spread from a family.
In the list of fields, select the field(s) whose order you want to change.
To move the field(s) up in the list, select .
