Linking steps

Introduction
For commissioning machines, sometimes several projects must be managed.
To simplify things for the user, partial or entire step trees from different projects can be linked
to one another. As a result of this, recurring step sequences from different projects can be
decentrally created and maintained, but centrally managed and executed in one package.
Some examples of this are operator panels, tool magazines, PLC components, etc.
Thanks to this technique of linking the step trees, the commissioning can be reduced to the
execution of only one package. The linking of steps allows considerable time savings.
