7.1.2 Creating a Favorites List
Once a Guided Component Test database is loaded, a list of manufacturers displays. This list is
often long and includes makes that are not frequently used. A toolbar at the top of the screen
allows you to custom configure the manufacturer list to display only the makes you frequently
service.
