| <h1 class="topictitle1">Process Element Properties View</h1> |
| <div><p>When you are editing a process, the process element properties view allows |
| you to edit all the details for a single element in the process. If you click |
| in any row in a process display, you will see the full details of the process |
| element in the row in the properties view.</p> |
| <p>If the properties view is not open, right click any row in a process and |
| select <strong>Show Properties View</strong>.</p> |
| <p>The properties view is the editor for activities, task descriptors, roles |
| descriptors, and work product descriptors. The information for |
| a descriptor is similar to the corresponding method element editor, but it |
| also has information related to the element in the process. The process information |
| is also displayed in the corresponding row in the process display.</p> |
| <p><strong>General Information tab:</strong></p> |
| <p>The Name and Presentation Name default to the corresponding names in the |
| base method element. These names can be changed in a descriptor.</p> |
| <div class="p">The following attributes are used to specify certain aspects of the element |
| in the process and can be set for all types of process elements:<ul><li><strong>Optional</strong>: If this is checked (true), it indicates that the element |
| is considered optional in the process. This means that it is safe to remove |
| the element. If this is not checked (false), the element is considered mandatory |
| and should not be removed from the process.</li> |
| <li><strong>Multiple Occurrences</strong>: If this is checked (true), it indicates that |
| when the process is instantiated as a project or other process, it is expected |
| that there will be multiple occurrences of this element. If this is not checked |
| (false), it indicates that there should only be a single occurrence of this |
| element when the process is instantiated.</li> |
| <li><strong>Planned</strong>: If this is checked (true), the element will be included |
| in an export to a project management tool. If this is not checked (false), |
| it will not be included in an export.</li> |
| <li><strong>Suppressed</strong>: If this is checked (true), the element will not appear |
| in a published process. This is usually used to modify a capability pattern |
| included in a process. This is not checked (false) as default.</li> |
| </ul> |
| </div> |
| <div class="p">The following elements can be set for task descriptors and activities:<ul><li><strong>Event Driven</strong>: If this is checked (true), it indicates that the |
| task or activity will be initiated when a particular event occurs. If this |
| is not checked (false), it indicates that the task or activity will be initiated |
| based on other tasks in the process.</li> |
| <li><strong>Ongoing</strong>: If this is checked (true), it indicates that the task |
| or activity is continuous. If this is not checked (false), it indicates that |
| the task or activity has a clear start and finish in the process.</li> |
| <li><strong>Repeatable</strong>: If this is checked (true), it indicates that the task |
| or activity can iterate when the process is instantiated. If this is not checked |
| (false), it indicates that the task or activity will only occur once in the |
| process.</li> |
| </ul> |
| </div> |
| <p>Dependency Field: You can add one or more dependencies for a task or activity. |
| Click the <strong>Add...</strong> button and enter the index number for the task or |
| activity on which the current element is dependent. The dependency (type) |
| defaults to Finish-to-Start. If you want to set another dependency type, click |
| the <strong>Edit</strong> button and select the required dependency type in the dependency |
| drop down box. You can enter a different index number on the Edit dialog. |
| You can also remove a dependency by selecting the dependency and clicking |
| the <strong>Remove</strong> button.</p> |
| <p>The base method element for the descriptor is displayed on the page. You |
| can select a different element by clicking the <strong>Link Method Element</strong> button |
| and selecting the required element.</p> |
| <p><strong>Documentation tab:</strong></p> |
| <p>The documentation tab contains descriptive attributes for the descriptor |
| or activity.</p> |
| <p><strong>Roll-Up tabs:</strong></p> |
| <p>The properties view for an activity includes roll-up tabs that provide |
| lists of tasks, roles, or work products "rolled up", or summarized, for the |
| activity.</p> |
| <p><strong>Association tabs:</strong></p> |
| <p>The remaining tabs are used to add or remove associations between the activity |
| or descriptor to method elements.</p> |
