To prepare a shell for use in Unifier:
What is a Configurable Shell?
Shells are:
- Designed for on-going management of any entity, from a project, to maintenance, to leasing requirements. Management in these shells is not necessarily time-limited.
- Able to use either the Standard Cost Manager (CBS based) or a Generic Cost Manager.
- Able to use hierarchies to group and manage projects, maintenance functions, leases, or any other type of entity.
- Designed in uDesigner and configured into hierarchies in Unifier.
Shell "Types," Shell "Instances," and Sub-Shells
Shell types are designed in uDesigner. A shell type could be "Building" or "Country.
Shell instances are created in Unifier and are based on a shell type. Instances of a Building shell type could be different buildings, such as "Olympic Stadium," "Eiffel Tower," or "Taj Mahal." Country instances could be "China," "India," or "France."
Sub-shells do not occur until the administrator builds the shell hierarchy. Then shell types can be arranged in shell—sub-shell relationships, such as Country—Building. The Country shell would list China, India, and France. The Building sub-shell would list Eiffel Tower, Olympic Stadium, and Taj Mahal.
