2. How do I add a Load Plan step using the Quick Step Tool?
• To use the Quick Step Tool, select an existing step in the Steps Hierarchy, click Add Step in the Steps toolbar, and then choose the step type you want to add (e.g., Serial, Parallel, Run Scenario, Case, When, Else). The new step will be added as a child of the selected step.
3. What types of steps can I add with the Quick Step Tool?
• The available step types you can add are:
