  - Production Model
    The production model presents a set of resources used to describe a product as a collection of components and the processes applied to those components.
  - Add properties or parameters to a resource
  - Modify the name and description of a property or parameter
  - Modify the values for a property or parameter
  - Delete properties or parameters from a resource
  - Work Data Classes
    Work data classes are defined by users and associated with process segments.
  - Work Process Segments
    Work process segments define an activity and the resources required to carry out the activity. It outlines the data associated with a process.
  - Work Definition Segments
    Work definition segments reference a single work process segment and refine the details that describe what the work process segment will accomplish.
  - Work Definitions
    A work definition is a collection of work definition segments assembled together to outline and define the resources and data required to carry out a unit of work.
  - Work Requests
    Work requests contain the information required to begin a production process.
    - Create a work request using a workflow
      This procedure describes how to create and configure a work request using a workflow.
    - Move work responses to a new work request
      You can move a work response from one work request to another work request at any time, regardless of the status of the originating work request.
    - Create a work segment response for a work request using a workflow
    - Write work data for a work segment response using a workflow
      You can create expressions or bind properties for many of these properties, depending on your workflow requirements.
    - Work Request Properties
      The Details tab offers general information about the selected work request.
    - Work Request Parameters
      The Requirements tab for the selected work request outlines all the information required to undertake a single production process. You can view and modify the parameter values for the current execution of the process.
    - Post-execution work request results
      The Response Information tab contains the results of the selected, executed work request.
  - Work Requests View
    The Work Requests View provides information at a glance of certain properties associated with production and equipment resources. You can also filter specific information related to these resources.

Work Request Parameters

The Requirements tab for the selected work request outlines all the information required to undertake a single production process. You can view and modify the parameter values for the current execution of the process.

You can also view and modify resource quantities for the material, equipment, and personnel resources in this process in a single location. Some resources are part of a larger, more generalized group or class. For these resources, you can select a more defined resource than the one that is currently defined as a requirement. For example, if the selected process indicates that it requires a mixer to perform a task, but the segment in this work request actually requires a specific mixer to complete the task at a particular time that this mixer is available, then you can indicate the specific mixer at this level.

The following table describes the attributes specific to this resource type.

Attribute	Value	Description
Expand All	N/A	Click to expand all the segment information for all the work requests' work definitions.
Collapse All	N/A	Click to collapse the associations.
Earliest Start Time	System-defined	Select the start date and time for the segment.
Latest End Time	System-defined	Select the end date and time for the segment.
Work Parameters: Value field	User-defined	Specifies a parameter for the segment.
All requirements: Quantity field	User-defined	Specifies a parameter for the segment.
Select button	User-defined	Click to open the Universal Browser to select a new resource requirement. Note: This button is available only if a class resource needs to be further defined.
Clear button	User-defined	Click to remove the selected resource requirement.
Material Requirements: Consumed	User-defined	Displays the output of the material resources when this work definition segment runs.
Material Requirements: Produced	User-defined	Displays material required for the operation of the work request.
Material Requirements: Consumable	User-defined	Displays information about the material resources that are consumed during the operation of the work request.
