      <p class="para_topic">The <b class="uiTerm">Component Port Report</b> contains a breakdown of the port usage for each selected component row.
      </p>
      <p class="para_topic">For every component selected in the component list, the port report lists the total number of ports, number of unused ports and number of connections. The program will indicate the total number of valid components for port report and their part file names at the end of the report. Port type is indicated using letters V (Virtual) or T (Terminal). A blank in the <b class="uiTerm">Port Type</b> column indicates that it is a standalone port (not a multiport). The port report operates on the current viewed connection list (filtered connections only are used to generate the port report).

      <div class="title_division">Combine connectors</div>
      <p class="para_division">This command allows the use of the same connector in multiple harnesses within the Component List. Two or more instances of a connector can be combined to indicate that they are the same connector. This function can be accessed by highlighting a component and then choose the right-click menu command <b class="uiTerm">Combine Connectors</b>. After the function is executed, only one instance of the connector remains in the <b class="uiTerm">Component Navigator</b>. The remaining connector instance is the one on which the shortcut menu is placed.
