You use the OBS Window to enter, edit, and view the OBS elements. A toolbar gives you quick access to common tasks, and two tabs (Performing and Responsible) allow you to switch between Performing and Responsible OBS Tree views. The OBS Grid displays the information about each OBS element. Each element is represented by a single row.
MPM automatically sorts the departments first by level and then alphabetically by Department ID each time you open the OBS window. Departments are indented to depict their levels. Level 2 Departments are indented one tab. Level 3 Departments are indented two tabs, and so on.
To advance to the next or previous field, press the Tab and Shift+Tab or the left- and right-arrow keys. To move between rows, use the up- and down-arrow keys.
Use the horizontal and vertical scroll bars to bring additional columns and rows into view. When clicking and dragging the vertical scroll bar, a pop-up label displays the current OBS department and row number.
When clicking and dragging the horizontal scroll bar, a pop-up label displays the current OBS field (column).
Initially, all OBS levels are shown.
