Edit List using Excel

In this chapter we describe how you change/edit your configuration.

First you start the main dialog again from the ribbon.

Selection Lists 19

To edit an existing configuration you either select the configuration and then click on the "Edit" button, or you simply make a double-click on one of the texts in the line.

Selection Lists 83

When the configuration dialog opens, we see all our settings from the previous chapter.

The change we want to make here, is to change the absolute path to a relative path.

Selection Lists 21

The path we have in this example is:

D:\Projects\Documentation\Selection Lists Docu\Related Files\Lists for Import.xlsx

We select the first part of the path including the project folder.

Selection Lists 22

Now we replace this with the expression [PP]. This is one of two variables which PlantTools use in paths. The advantage is, that when you move your project to another folder or you copy or rename your project, those configurations which use a variable don't need to be adapted.

[PP] is the whole path including the project name.
