	To create a new link to an existing (sub)system, select a system form the right-most table and use the green arrow pointing to the left to move to the left table. The selected system will then be listed as a subsystem (application) for the system being edited. The later table displays two information, the name of all the subsystems linked to the main system and the number of occurrences accepted for this subsystem. This allows the administrator to set the number of a specific subsystem which can be linked to the main system when defining an offer. For example, a main system (large business server) could be coupled with defined number of replicators, or applications wise it could be enhanced with a Webserver application. Ti remove linked subsystems from the main system, the user can simply select the appropriate subsystem and use the right pointing arrow to shift it to the list of available systems.

Defining rules for pictures is a quite straightforward process. Conditions can be defined to automatically choose which image will be displayed to represent a system in ~~QSBW~~. In order to set this up, it is required to fill in a line of the table on the lower part of the pictures tab. By click the ~~ADD~~ button, the list of available pictures appears and one can be selected by double-clicking on it. The next step is to define the filter which will be used to determine whether this ~~pictures~~ will be displayed. Double-clicking in the cell will bring up the list of all variables, selecting on and validating the ~~windows~~ will set it as the filter variable. The last step is to select the appropriate condition and to set the value to which the variable should be weighted.	+	With the same idea as for [[Metis_Smart_Modeling_-_Models\|models]], pictures can be set as conditional to values set in the offer.
