Particularization through relations
As you can see in the configuration chapter, you can configure (among other things):
But also, you can relate this items, by the configuration of relations:
- Relation Process-Results
- Relation Process-Status-Results
This is useful for 2 reasons:
- Users can only select a status or result if it is related to the process they are working with. By this, you can have all the status and results available at your organization, but only make a certain subset available for users for a certain process. For example: if one status is not applicable any more, but you want to keep the historic data, you just remove the relation Process-Status-Results, but you leave the status at the status configuration to be able to see the description, type, etc. of the status when viewing the reporting.
- When the systems needs to obtain any configuration data, it will first search first on the relation and later, if no relation is found, it will search on the configuration master file. This allows, for example, the configuration of specific values for a certain process, when it is in a certain status, producing a certain result.
