Child Specification List

The Child Specification List displays a list from which other Projects can be specified and grouped together into one Top Level Project.

The Projects that can be specified from the Child Specification List and the information to be passed to and from the Projects are administered from the Projects property.

When the Form Control is applied the name entered will display as the caption for the form control. This can be changed by selecting the Caption property.

When a child specification releases models which are referenced in its parent ensure Overwrite Released Model Data is unchecked; as the parent will overwrite the child's release data.
