Pane Explanation

Task Pieces

When multiple selection of pieces, Task Pieces indicates which pieces will be affected by the change. Note that you can set the Task Pieces to All pieces even if only one piece is Selected on the working area. If the fields of several pieces don't match, Different is displayed in this field. If you change a field, e.g., the Name field, this will influence ALL the pieces indicated in the Task Pieces.

Protected
