  - 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

Work Requests

Work requests contain the information required to begin a production process.

They are sent by a scheduling system or entered by an operator to trigger an activity that can be individually monitored, scheduled, and reported on. By submitting a work request, the necessary resources are identified and become part of a work schedule. Each work request is associated with a work definition.

Work requests are also associated with the events model. When a work request is created, any scheduled event is triggered in this section. It can be triggered automatically through a service provider from an external system, such as a master scheduler in a plant, or an alarm system, or manually through a user-defined workflow schedule.

Work requests can be created using the:

Call Method activity in the Workflow model; or
Work Requests resource type in the Production model.
