Assign

The assign commands are for overriding the global criteria. Most assign commands can be issued in Single, Fence or All mode.

When a command is issued in Single mode, the arrow cursor turns into a target cursor for the selection of the desired member.

In Fence mode, the arrow cursor turns into the rectangle cursor that allows the selection of multiple members at a time.

In All mode, the cursor remains the arrow cursor but the assignment is made to all members.
