Part 1: To create a new sequence

  1. In the Project Manager click BaseControlFlow to select your folder.

  2. On the Home ribbon, click Insert - Sequence to create a new sequence.

    The new sequence appears as a child of the BaseControlFlow folder in the project tree.

  1. Right-click Sequence in the Project Manager to open the context menu of the new sequence and choose View Properties.

  2. In the Properties pane, type TestPinStates_ControlFlow in the Name edit field to rename the new sequence.

    After you pressed Enter or changed the focus to another element the modification is displayed in the Project Manager.
