1. From the Certification ribbon, Method tool group, click the Assign tool.

   • If this tool is entered from another tool with a designpointset selected, the selection is maintained.

   • By default, the config option is derived from the last created designpointset entity.

4. Select designpointmethod entities to assign to designpointset(s) in the following ways:
   • Use advanced selection.
   • Right-click the Method selector and choose Create method from template.

     The same dialog used to create methods opens with the current category (config) filtered. Click Create to create designpointmethods and populate the method selector.

5. On the guide bar, click one of the following:
   • - Save changes and stay in the tool.
   • - Save changes and close the tool.
