Findings Fields​

Findings tree

New iFinding fields can now be generated and named from the main node using the Tabulator key. When a field is selected, the Enter key can be used to create another field of equal rank. By pressing the Tabulator key a new iFinding field is created on a deeper level. This can be used to create a tree-like structure, which is then displayed as sub-areas in the iCL Filler.
