| - | + | Throughout Metis Smart Suite, pictures are used to ease the work of users. Some of those pictures can be defined for each implementation of Metis Smart Suite. For example the pictures linked to systems defined by the administrator within Metis Smart Modelling. In the later, pictures are managed as Clip-arts in the '''Clip-arts''' sub-menu. The user can add new ones, as well as delete or edit any of the existing clip-arts that are found in Metis Smart Modeling. The clip-arts are organized alphabetically in the table below based on their original file name. A preview of the Clip-arts is also displayed to allow the administrator/user to easily browse through them. | |
