Add and Remove Entities
Entities can be added or cut/removed from panels using the Browser Context-Sensitive Menu.
Adding Entities
Each entity that is added requires a variable name, label, and an indication as to whether the entity is single or a pair. An optional descriptive note can also be included. Each variable name must be unique in the system to which the entity is being added. Once an entity has been added, its variable name cannot be changed from a MotionView panel.
