No

No assignment allowed. Each document belongs exclusively to one material.

No, but show other usages(*2)

It is not possible to link other documents. But if the document is assigned to another configuration by its object relevancy, these usages are shown.

Yes,  no action when selected for new version. (*1) (*2)

Links to identical document types are allowed; however versioning via ProConfiguration triggers no actions on these materials, which are also linked to this document.

This setting is recommended, if MUD is managed outside of ProConfiguration and the exchange in ProConfiguration objects is controlled via MUD monitor.

Yes, display warning when selected for new version.(*1) (*2)

As mentioned above, but with warning. Action can be terminated.

Obsolete: Yes, check usage/proc.scen. when selected for new vs(*3)

As mentioned above, however the triggering action (status change, revisioning etc.) performed on all materials which are linked to this document.

In case one or several other documents are versionized because of the processing scenario (e.g. objects are listed in the processing scenario and the versioning is no option) acc. the object relevance, the process is running in the background, without calling the workbench for each affected material. In certain cases a large number of materials could be affected which would result in a large number of dialogs for the user. If this dialog is wanted, it can be controlled by customer exit After determination of all objects and after object definition in call 2.

Yes, but single usage only

This is no multiple usage, this option only allows the assignment of documents without any assignments to a material. This may be the case for documents, which have been created directly by CV01N or an interface.

 

(*1)

One of these option shall be used for MUD which are handled by the MUD monitor.

(*2)

This setting requires the up-date of the new MUD versions in other applications outside of ProConfiguration.

(*3)

This setting activates the previous MUD method with handling of new versions in all usages.

If an object can be linked and option Remove object is also active, the object in the object selection can be linked again, e.g. an exchange is possible.
