| + | A group of masks is a set of masks which could be related to the same subject, but which are presented in Metis Smart Quote under tabs which can be defined in Metis Smart Modeling. The whole principle of group of masks is to setup this layout. Metis Smart Modelling allows to define the name and the content of the group, basically a group is an entity which then links to different masks, which will then make up the group. Each masks linked to the group is then named in order to setup the tabs. And define the definitive layout in Metis Smart Quote. Defining the tabs displayed in Metis Smart Quotes is done by linking masks to the group. For each tab displayed at the bottom of the window, a mask can be selected. Each tab can also hold a description which will be displayed in the tab title in Metis Smart Quotes. | ||
