    guid=&quot;_rlrykJcbEd2sTqxclDgvog&quot;>Concept: Delayed Assignment&lt;/a>.&#xD;
&lt;/p>&#xD;
&lt;p>&#xD;
    The delayed assignment&amp;nbsp;of roles, domains, work product kinds and disciplines is implemented is through the use of&#xD;
    Assign plug-ins.&amp;nbsp;An Assign plug-in is defined for every Base plug-in that contains work products or tasks.&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
&lt;/p>&#xD;
&lt;p>&#xD;
    Assign plug-ins contain:&#xD;
&lt;/p>&#xD;
&lt;ul>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        Role assignments: &#xD;
        &lt;ul>&#xD;
            &lt;li>&#xD;
                A role for every role to be assigned responsibility for a work product.&amp;nbsp; Each role is defined as a&#xD;
                contributor to an existing role and adds the necessary &quot;role responsible for work product&quot;&#xD;
                associations.&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
            &lt;/li>&#xD;
            &lt;li>&#xD;
                A task for every task to be assigned a performing or a supporting role.&amp;nbsp; Each task is defined as a&#xD;
                contributor to an existing task and adds the necessary &quot;task is is performed by role&quot; associations.&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
            &lt;/li>&#xD;
        &lt;/ul>&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        Standard category assignments:&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
    &lt;li style=&quot;LIST-STYLE-TYPE: none&quot;>&#xD;
        &lt;ul>&#xD;
            &lt;li>&#xD;
                A discipline for every discipline that is to have tasks&amp;nbsp;mapped to it.&amp;nbsp; Each discipline is defined&#xD;
                as a contributor to an existing discipline and adds the necessary &quot;discipline includes task&quot;&#xD;
                associations.&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
            &lt;/li>&#xD;
            &lt;li>&#xD;
                A domain for every domain that is to have work products mapped to it.&amp;nbsp; Each domain is defined as a&#xD;
                contributor to an existing domain and adds the necessary &quot;domain includes work product&quot; associations.&#xD;
            &lt;/li>&#xD;
        &lt;/ul>&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        Practice-specific role, role set and standard category definitions.&amp;nbsp;Practice-specific definitions for delayed&#xD;
        elements are defined in the Assign plug-in to make them easy to change.&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
&lt;/ul>&#xD;
