Application Role Editor

Use the Application Role editor to define specialized action code name and action code pairs. These pairs can be added to technical action families and can be associated with a specific edge fulfillment system.

Field Use

Short Name

Enter an abbreviation for the application role. This value is required.

When you create technical actions, Design Studio uses this value to help generate the default name of the action. The default name that is generated is a combination of the action prefix defined in the functional area, followed by the application role short name, followed by the subject.

For example:

TechnicalActions_ACT_DSL_RFS

where TechnicalActions is the action prefix defined on the functional area, ACT is the short name defined for the Activation application role, and DSL_RFS is the resource facing service that is the subject of the action.

Action Type

Displays the functional area associated with the application role. The application role can include any action code defined on the associated functional area. Click the Action Type link to open the functional area in the Functional Area editor.

Specialized Action Code

Click Add to include an action code and to specify a corresponding specialized action name. The action codes available to add to the application role are defined on the functional area associated with the application role (specified in the Action Type field). For example, when modeling technical actions, you can add any action code defined on the Technical functional area.

Select the Specialized Action Name and Action Code pair and click Remove to remove the pair.

Specialized Action Code Detail

Edit the Specialized Action Name to ensure that the value is specific to the application role and to the fulfillment system to which the name is relevant.
