To begin modifying the components tied to a specification group collection, you must select a specification group collection first, indicated by the green checkmark. By clicking on the icons directly above the left section, you can modify the components for the selected collection.

The Workbook Designer is a tool that allows you to customize the component files in a spreadsheet format. It is recommended for advanced users who want to fine-tune their components. If you are new to the Workbook Designer, you can learn more about it in the article "Overview of Workbook Designer". This will give you a better understanding of how to use this powerful tool to make the most of your component files.

The Project Wizard is a tool that allows you to customize the default settings for your project or a specific group of specifications. These settings may include Default Construction of your cabinets, Project Setup, Material Options, Title Block Information, and Render Finish Options. The options available in the Project Wizard may vary depending on the library you are using, and you can customize it to include prompts and variables that you commonly use in your projects. By using the Project Wizard, you can streamline your workflow and save time by not having to constantly reset these default settings.

At the bottom of the Project Wizard interface, there is a tool for performing a find and replace for the project materials and hardware. To perform a Find and Replace, you need to check the boxes for which categories to search, add a value to find and a value to replace, and then click Apply.

The Global Variables tool allows you to customize a wider range of default settings for your projects. These settings may include graining options, cabinet construction settings, machining settings, and more. The tabs, categories, and variables in the Global Variables interface can be arranged to fit your preferences and organized in a way that makes sense to you. The options available in the Global Variables tool may vary depending on the library you are using. Additional information on the Global Variables interface can be found in the article, "Working with the Global Variables via the Toolbox Interface". By using the Global Variables tool, you can streamline your workflow and ensure that your projects consistently use the same default settings.

The Material File icon opens an interface that will allow you to set up the materials, edgebanding, and hardware to be used within a specification group.

Each of the tabs across the top of the right section will now have a new folder: “_Project <project name>.” The project folders will contain any materials that are specific to this project only. Materials that were set up to be cloneable will be automatically copied to this folder, and the material pointers reassigned to use the project level materials. Again, the added benefit of using cloneable materials is the ability to control the material properties (thickness, grain direction, sheet size, etc.)

To create a new material (or item), select the tab at the top of the right section (Sheet Stock Library, Solid Stock Library, Buy-Out Library, Edge Band Library, or Hardware Library), select the category in which to add the new material, right-click and choose Add Material.

1. Material Setup – Allows you to set up the material. The code field can be used for overriding routing and border tools. It can also be used for part numbers or other data – more common when setting up buyout or hardware materials.
   
2. Grain Setup – Allows you to set the grain direction for the material.
   
3. Face 6 Handling – Allows you to set an option on how to handle face six machining. Note: Most 2-sided materials can be set up as Always Flip. 1-sided materials can be set up as Always Ask or Never Flip – prior testing is recommended.
   
4. Sheet Setup – Allows you to enter sheet sizes, material margins, and optimization priorities. Note: If all sheets have an optimization priority of 1, the system will optimize to get the best yield using all the available sheets. Numbers greater than one will optimize as materials are needed.
   
5. Extended Data – Allows you to setup extended data to be used in reporting.
   
6. Hatching – Allows you to select the type of hatching to be used when drawing sections.
   
7. Region – Allows you to select your region.
   
8. OK – Itllows you to save changes and exit.
   
9. Cancel – It allows you to cancel the operation.

If formula-driven materials have been created and material file wizards are being used, the Material File Wizards icon will allow you to set up your project materials.

The Door Wizard Variables icon will allow you to change the default settings for doors and drawer fronts. This includes setting up defaults for door styles, profiles for panels and door part edges, etc.
