Functional Area Editor Action Support Tab

Use the Functional Area editor Action Support tab to specify whether the functional area supports actions and to define the conceptual model entities that can be associated with the functional area actions.

Field	Use
Action Support area	Select This Functional Area Supports Action if the functional area supports actions. Service order management and technical order management layers support actions. Commercial order management layers do not support actions. Define the naming convention of the functional area actions by specifying a value in the Action Prefix field. For example, if configuring a service order management functional area, you might define this value as service_action.
Supported Entity Types area	Click Add to specify the conceptual model entities with which the functional area actions can be associated. Click Remove to remove a conceptual model entity from the list.
Supported Entity Type Details area	For the selected conceptual model entity, define the following: Mandatory: Select to indicate that the conceptual model entity requires an association with the type of action defined by the functional area. When this option is selected for an entity in the Supported Entity Types table, Design Studio automatically creates an action entity and associates the action entity with any new entities that you create. Multi Instance: Select to indicate that multiple actions can be associated with the conceptual model entity. Customer facing services can have only one associated service action. Resources, however, can be associated with multiple technical actions. Extend Subject by Default: If selected, indicates that the data elements defined on the conceptual model entity are inherited by associated actions.
Default Action Codes area	Displays the action codes that are supported in the functional area. Action codes represent the base operation types in a solution. For example, the default values defined for a functional area can include Add, Modify, and Delete action codes. Select an action code and click Open to open the code in the Action Code editor.
