Create a Grouping List - CMUCTAT/CTAT GitHub Wiki

Introduction
Interface components can be grouped together so that they function as a unit. This is especially useful when you want to hide or show some interface components based on actions taken by students in your tutor. You can create a group of components in two ways: by putting components in a Grouping Container, or by creating a list of components to be grouped. Using a Grouping Container to create a physical group makes sense when the components are near each other. When they are not near each other (or anytime you prefer not to use a container), you can use the Grouping List dialog to define a logical group.
Define a Grouping List
To add components to a Grouping List,
- Click to select all of the components you want to add to the group.
- Then click on Grouping List in the Component palette. This will open a dialog listing all of the components that were selected.
- Enter a name for the group, e.g., "group2" in the Group ID field.
- Click the Save Group button.
Group List dialog
Edit a Grouping List
A Grouping List has no visual representation in your tutor interface, but you can see and modify your groups from the View menu.
To view, edit, or delete a group:
- Click on Groups in the View menu. Names of defined groups are displayed in a submenu.
- Move the mouse over the group name ("group2") in the submenu that you want to view. The background of the interface components in the group turns green as shown below.
- Click the group name in the submenu to open the Edit Group dialog.
View or edit a Group List
From the Edit Group dialog you can delete components from the group, add other components to the group, or delete the entire group.
Note
Deleting a component from the group or deleting a Grouping List does not delete any of the components in the group.
