Hot Spot Assembly Inclusion Rule Definitions
Before you can define H (Hot Spot) assembly inclusion rules, you must define the hot spot UDC value in UDC table 32/HS.
User-defined hot spots are determined by using the H assembly inclusion rule. The hot spot rules function similarly to a calculation (C) assembly inclusion rule. This process means that the power of the derived calculation, external program interfaces, and more can be leveraged. Configured tables are also supported for the H rule type.
Hot spots (H rules) are processed in the same way as calculated values (C rules). This means that if the configuration validation fails, the displayed value is the customer-defined error character as defined in the Configurator Constants. The H rule differs from a C rule in that processing is done last for the parent item. In addition, anything from any level can be referenced.
The values from UDC 32/HS are used by the F3293 Evaluate AIR business function (B3200460) to process the hot spot (H Rule) as numeric or nonnumeric. If the result of the rule matches the Numeric Y/N definition, then it is rounded, based on the UDC definition. The second description for UDC 32/HS enables you to enter an edit code that is used to scrub the result before it appears on the form. The edit codes are standard programming edit codes.
