where the 'tree' is not
 set to show items on 
a panel-by-panel basis. For more 
information on this feature, refer to "Other 
Desktop Choices".

to view or edit. This area shows a

door, once defined; 
If the Name is Shown as "Elevator" (and the 
form is blank): These screens are 
placeholders for elevators (click [Filter] on 
the toolbar to hide elevator references). 
"Offset" values for each panel determine 
whether multi-panel sites will have 
consecutive versus repeating door numbers. For 
details, refer to the "Display Offsets" value under 
"System Panels and Displayed Item-Numbers".
