    guid=&quot;_0H9aAO7EEdy9EOwDlaw7Kw&quot;>Practice Configuration&lt;/a>&amp;nbsp;assumes that there is an established&amp;nbsp;&lt;a&#xD;

    work must be performed within the architectural constraints of the framework.&#xD;
&lt;/p>&#xD;
&lt;p>&#xD;
    To author a new practice configuration, perform the following steps:&#xD;
&lt;/p>&#xD;
&lt;ul>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        Define the &lt;a class=&quot;elementLink&quot;&#xD;
        href=&quot;./../../../core.default.uma_concept.base/guidances/termdefinitions/method_configuration_C2B8FA8A.html&quot;&#xD;
        guid=&quot;__V7pAMaEEduMlb2cQZNTYw&quot;>method configuration&lt;/a>&amp;nbsp;for the practice configuration, including its purpose,&#xD;
        scope and the practices&amp;nbsp;to be included (&lt;a class=&quot;elementLinkWithType&quot;&#xD;
        href=&quot;./../../../core.mdev.common.base/guidances/guidelines/defining_practice_configs_743A20DB.html&quot;&#xD;
        guid=&quot;_FnCOMAz8Ed2135n7CJzRCQ&quot;>Guideline: Defining Practice Configurations&lt;/a>)&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        Define any &lt;a class=&quot;elementLink&quot;&#xD;
        href=&quot;./../../../core.mdev.common.base/guidances/termdefinitions/cross_practice_process_5F83B112.html&quot;&#xD;
        guid=&quot;_9NcfoFJgEd2SzrMjC_svdw&quot;>cross-practice process&lt;/a>es that are to be included in the practice configuration,&#xD;
        specifying the new method configuration as the&amp;nbsp;default configuration for the processes&amp;nbsp;(&lt;a&#xD;
        class=&quot;elementLinkWithType&quot;&#xD;
        href=&quot;./../../../practice.mdev.auth.practice_config_auth.base/guidances/guidelines/defining_cross_practice_processes_3675F3AB.html&quot;&#xD;
         guid=&quot;_URR4AMbSEdy9YushbOcFQA&quot;>Guideline: Defining a Practice Configuration Cross-Practice Process&lt;/a>)&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        Define the &lt;a class=&quot;elementLink&quot;&#xD;
        href=&quot;./../../../core.mdev.common.base/guidances/termdefinitions/navigation_view_8F89044.html&quot;&#xD;
        guid=&quot;_X_hFIPAjEdyHz_B1XFOUgA&quot;>navigation view&lt;/a>s that provide access to the elements in the practice&#xD;
        configuration&amp;nbsp;(&lt;a class=&quot;elementLinkWithType&quot;&#xD;
        href=&quot;./../../../practice.mdev.auth.practice_config_auth.base/guidances/guidelines/defining_practice_configuration_nav_views_A40E99D9.html&quot;&#xD;

    &lt;/li>&#xD;
&lt;/ul>&#xD;
&lt;p>&#xD;
    As the practice configuration is authored, it is a good idea to publish the practice configuration and make sure the&#xD;
    results are what you expect&amp;nbsp;(&lt;a class=&quot;elementLinkWithType&quot;&#xD;
