===========================
Cross references properties
===========================

The main advantage of using `Master`_ and `Slave`_ elements is the posibility to create 
`cross references (links)`_ between `elements`_. At the case of `cross references definition`_, 
QElectroTech provides the posbility to display automatically at the `workspace`_ some information from 
the `Master`_ or `Slave`_ element linked.

The definition or cross references properties inside a project can be costumized by the user at 
`project properties`_.

.. note ::

    QElectroTech allows defining automatically `cross references properties`_ during `project creation`_. 
    For more  information about how to standarize some `cross references properties`_ from `project`_ 
    to `project`_, please refers to the `QElectroTech cross references settings`_ section.

The **Cross references** tab from **New folio** settings section allows pre-defining some 
`cross references properties`_:

    * Cross references `Master element`_ type (Coil, organ of protection or Switch/button).
    * Cross references label (Master and slave cross references label to be display at the `workspace`_)
    * Representation position from the cross references label (Under the element label or Footer).
    * Display option from `cross references`_

.. note ::

    The cross reference label can be created using the general variables from `Master`_ and `Slave`_ elements.

To define cross references settings: 

    1. `Display`_ project properties PopUP window.
    2. Go to **New folio** section.
    3. Go to **Cross references** tab.
    4. Define the desired parameters for each field.
    5. Press **OK** button to save the configuration changes and close project properties PopUP window.

.. note::

    All pre-defined cross references properties defined at QElectroTech settings PopUP window will 
    be automatically defined during `project creation`_ at `project properties`_. The cross references 
    properties can be found at `Cross references tab`_ tab from `New folio`_ section.
