Field | Use |
---|---|
Select Data Structure Definition |
Select to add a data structure definition to the task. You can select an existing data structure definition, or create a new data structure definition. Data structure definitions allow you to model complex data types in OSM. If no data structure definitions are displayed in the Matching items area, you must define the dependency of the data structure definition to the model project before you add it to the task. |
Disable Merge Mode/ Enable Merge Mode |
Select Disable Merge Mode when adding a data element from the Data Dictionary or order template onto a task so that Design Studio does not merge the data element with a data element that is identical, and instead, adds the data element as a child of the identical data element (creating a recursive structure). This setting stays in effect for all OSM editors in which data elements are added until you change it. |
Set Read Only |
Select to set multiple data elements on the task as read only in a single operation. You often must make task data elements read only. For example, in a manual task, you do not want users to update certain data values such as the account ID. |
Set Significance |
Select to set significance on one or more data elements in a single operation. |
Open In... |
Select to open the editor from which the data element is inherited. This option applies when you select an inherited data element that is contributed through a solution or base order. |
