Understanding Public Models

If you plan to use public models, you must define them in UDC table 08/PM during setup. These models are visible to all managers in the management chain.

The public model enables higher level supervisors to open the model and view the work. When you save the model as a private model, you are the only person who has access to that model. You use the public model so that higher level managers can make modifications and return the model to the originator. After you have incorporated all of the changes that you want to make, you create a master model. Only a master model can be submitted for approval. You cannot change the master model after you submit it.
