How to group data types?

‎12-05-2022 03:36 AM

How can I group my custom data type like IVI and LabVIEW types visible below?

Should I look for some hidden attributes?

I'm crosslinking the idea exchange: https://forums.ni.com/t5/NI-TestStand-Idea-Exchange/Add-tree-structure-to-data-type-menu/idi-p/20163...

 

Idk what is going on here... The feature is clearly there for years, but in 2019 it was marked as Under Consideration???

I figured that SeqEdit uses preinstalled (probably hardcoded) prefixes to group some built-in types. It will group types with names beginning with "LabVIEW" and "NI_Ivi" (perhaps there are others as well). IVI grouping works even if you don't have those steps installed.

 

It is currently impossible to create custom groups.
