The Table Manager allows characteristics to be grouped together and renumbered, such as 2.1, 2.2, etc. based on the original number. 

 

Grouping Characteristics

To group characteristics:
 

1.Click the Characteristic tab.

2.Click a row in the table and ctrl+click or shift+click to select multiple rows.

3.Right-click on one of the selected rows, which displays a shortcut menu.

4.Click Grouping, which will bring out a flyout menu option to either Group or Group with shared balloon.

•Selecting Group will renumber the characteristics and balloons to create sub-balloons.  For example, grouping balloons 13, 14, and 15 will create balloon and characteristic numbers 13.1, 13.2, and 13.3

•Selecting Group with shared balloon will renumber the characteristics and create a single balloon number for all the selected characteristics.  For example, grouping balloons 13, 14, and 15 will create characteristic numbers 13.1, 13.2, and 13.3 as well as share a single balloon number 13 for all three characteristics.

5.   Perform the same steps to ungroup except click on Ungroup in the shortcut menu.
