Relating Resource Specifications with Task Specifications

You can use the Related Specifications tab in the Task editor to relate resource specifications with Task specifications. In UIM, these relationships result in the creation of items in the Actions menu of Activity Workspace sections for activities based on the Task specification. The menu item takes UIM users directly to the New page for entity type and specification.

For example, you could relate the Cisco 3063 Logical Device specification to a Task specification in Design Studio. In UIM, users can create Cisco 3063 logical devices directly from the Activity Workspace section.

You can relate the following types of specifications with Task specifications:

• Connectivity

• Custom Network Address

• Custom Object

• Equipment

• Logical Device

• Logical Device Account

• Media Stream

• Property Location

• Party

• Physical Device

• Pipe

• Telephone Number

To relate resource specifications to Task specifications:

1. Go to the Task specification editor Related Specifications tab.

2. Click Select.

   The Select Dialog dialog box appears, displaying a list of specifications in the current cartridge project.

3. Do one of the following:

   • Select a specification, and then click OK.

   • Click New, and then create a new specification. See "Creating New Specifications" for more information.
