Adding Elements via The Diagram Menu

Designing G4 PanelBuilder projects is done through graphic representation. The flow between the pages is
done through the Diagram area. Connections are then made between the elements in the Diagram area. To add
an element using the Diagram menu:
1.
Open a project or create a new project file.
2.
Select Diagram > Add Element, then select the element with the appropriate number of selections or
device for your criteria.
You can either click and drag or nudge the elements within the Diagram area. Select an element and use your
arrow keys to nudge.

Connecting Elements

Developing flow between pages is made possible by creating lines from one element's exiting node to another
element's entering node.
1.
With a template open and elements present in the diagram area, left-click and hold on the exiting node of
a desired element.
2.
Drag your mouse over any part of another element. If a connection is permissible, the element highlights
in green. If the connection is not possible the element highlights in red.
You have now created the flow from one page to another.
