The Flow Scheme pane

Some strategies link specific manual instructions directly to the components in the flow scheme pane. The components in the flow scheme that are associated with instructions are indicated with double arrows (>>). A particular component can have one or more instructions attached to it. In cases where there is more than one instruction, one of the instructions is the main instruction.

To display and select instructions:

• double-click a component

or

• right-click a component, select Instructions and an instruction in the shortcut menu.
