  1. Double-click an object symbol in the diagram to display its property sheet and select the tab corresponding to the item you want to add.

    The corresponding list appears.
  2. Select the item before which you want to insert a new item in the ordered list.
  3. Click the Insert a Row tool.

    The new item is inserted before the selected item in the list. It appears with a default name you can modify.
  4. Click OK.

    or

    Repeat the steps before if you need to add more items to the list. You can add as many items as you need before clicking OK.
