column: 
Icon Description 
Sequence group type icon 
Group type with components that are currently hidden 
Group type with components that are currently shown 
Category Window 
The category window is used to define the components of the category type. The 
category window, like a group window, shows components of the category type 
that are used for inheritance purposes, to make components available to other 
types. 
The difference between a category window and group window is that a group 
window has a rule column for entering component rules. Components of a 
category do not have component rules. 
Properties Window 
The Properties window is used to define and view the properties of the currently 
selected type. Each type has properties that define the characteristics of that data 
object. 
To access the Properties window
