Link Types and Constraints Supported
These tables provide the types of links and constraints supported for linking a segmentable activity with a regular activity and for linking a segmentable activity with another segmentable activity.
This table provides the types of links and constraints supported for linking a segmentable activity with a regular activity.
Link Type | Constraint | Description |
---|---|---|
Simultaneous (Segmentable and Regular Activities) | No constraints available | N/A |
Regular Activity Finish to Segmentable Activity Start | Same Day, Same Provider | Same Day: Regular activity must start (and finish) the
same day, the earliest (based on the calendar) segment of the segmentable
activity starts. Same Provider: Regular activity must be assigned to the same provider as the earliest (based on the calendar) segment of the segmentable activity. |
Segmentable Activity Finish to Regular Activity Start | Same Day, Same Provider, Different Providers | Same Day: Regular activity must start (and finish) the
same day the latest (based on the calendar) segment of the segmentable
activity finishes. Same Provider: Regular activity must be assigned to the same provider as the latest (based on the calendar) segment of segmentable activity. Different Providers: Regular activity must be assigned to the resource not participating in any segment of the segmentable activity. |
Segmentable Activity Start to Regular Activity Start | Different Providers | Different Providers: Regular activity must be assigned to the resource not participating in the earliest (based on the calendar) segment of the segmentable activity. |
Link Type | Constraint | Description |
---|---|---|
Simultaneous (Segmentable and Segmentable Activities) | No constraints available | N/A |
Segmentable Activity Finish to Segmentable Activity Start | Same Day, Same Provider, Different Providers | Same Day: Earliest (based on the calendar) segment of the latter activity must
start the same day as the latest (based on the calendar) segment of the former segmentable
activity finishes. Same Provider: All the segments of the latter activity are done by the same resource(s) that participated in any segment of the former activity. Different Providers: All the segments of the latter activity are done by resource(s) different than those participated in any segment of the former activity. |
Segmentable Activity Start to Segmentable Activity Start | Different Providers | Different Providers: All the segments of the latter activity are done by resource(s) different than those participated in any segment of the former activity. If you try to add an unsupported activity link type and/or constraint, a warning is displayed and no link is added. |
