Children

The Children pane is new functionality initially introduced in v6. The Children pane allows the user to display asset information data in a flat table for multiple assets. The data grid is non-editable, but can be exported to Excel, Text or CSV.

Caution

If you elect to view complicated AIG forms which contain complex calculations and references, then the data grid may take several minutes to load. This will depend on the complexity of AIG forms and the number of assets to view.

Unlike other toolbars, the Children toolbar does not provide any editing capabilities, just filtering and navigation options.
