The Order Template context menu contains actions specific to simple and structured data elements defined on the order. To access these actions, right-click in the Order Template area of the Order editor Order Template tab. The actions specific to the Order Template are listed below. For information about the standard data modeling context menu options, see "Modeling Data Using Context Menus."
| Field | Use |
|---|---|
| Select Data Structure Definition | Select to add an existing data structure definition or create a new data structure definition. Data structure definitions allow you to model complex data types in OSM.
If no data structure definitions are displayed in the Matching items area, you must define the dependency of the data structure definition to the model project before you add it to the order template. |
| Disable Merge Mode/ Enable Merge Mode |
Select Disable Merge Mode when adding a data element from the Data Dictionary onto an order so that Design Studio does not merge the data element with a data element that is identical, and instead, adds the data element as a child of the identical data element (creating a recursive structure).
This setting stays in effect for all OSM editors in which data elements are added until you change it. |
| Add To Tasks/Views... | Select to add one or more data elements from the order template to one or more tasks or one or more views in a single operation.
Use this option for task inheritance and view inheritance of data elements defined in an order. Important: Ensure source control is set up. You cannot undo this action in a single operation. You must individually remove data elements from each task or view after they are added. |
| Set Significance | Select to set significance on multiple data elements in a single operation. |
| Copy Mnemonic Path | Select to copy the path of the selected entity to the clipboard. This path is then available for you to paste.
If the selected OSM entity has derived complex types, you can copy the path to the derived type. |
| Open In... | Select to open the OSM entity that contributes an inherited data element. This option is available when you select data elements that are inherited from different OSM entities (these data elements are grayed out).
This option provides quick access from the order template tree of the order to the order template tree of the base entity where the inherited data element is defined. For example, in orchestration orders, the order template can have data elements (such as ControlData) that are contributed from multiple OSM entities (parent orders, order components (fulfillment functions), order item specifications, and so on. Using this option, you find out which entities the data element is inherited from and can quickly open the order template of those entities. |
