Conventions for the Include Context column

You can deselect the categories that you want to exclude from the guideline check. You must select at least one context check box, even if there are no attribute values. If all are deselected, nothing is returned.

Select at least one Context Type to include. Even if no Context Attribute values are selected, all guidelines are returned for all context type values.

Context Criteria (Selling location, Mfg. Location, Brand, Product Type, End Use, End Users)

PLM for Process retrieves the Company values (Customer, Vendor, Testing, Manufacturer and Other) from the Reference tab and populates into the Formula Guideline context. The Formula context also supports Manufacturing Location, Selling Location, Product Type, Brand, End Use and End User.

You can also use the Context grid to select additional context values. This provides a method for a developer to check how a formula might do with new context. For example, you can see how a formula produced for the US market complies with a new market in China or Australia. This provides the developer some guidance on how to re-formulate for the new market.
