The components are executed according to the order of their listing from top to bottom when exe‐
cuting the package, provided that the step activation is "green" and the step execution is not skipped

No components must be linked to steps. Steps can also be created for organizational reasons only,
e.g. for querying conditions, etc.
The ID namespace is only displayed if a step from a subproject was linked into a main project.
The newly linked step is assigned a unique namespace in the main project.
The designation of the namespace can be changed.
Further information on the namespace (Page 235).
When it is created, a step is assigned an ID which is unique in the project.
This can be subsequently adapted. Either numeric values or alphanumeric values starting with a
letter or '_' are permitted.
While executing the step, the activation state of the step can be queried (from other steps or in
scripts) using its ID.
Further information on the step activation and ID can be found in the System variables reference
