Property definition and bound
This information is displayed on the Property Info window:
- Property Name = Property definition
- Property Name >= Lower bound
- Property Name <= Upper bound
The Property Info window always display the Display Name of the class, property, or attribute that is used in defining a property, if the Display Name is defined. Else the original name is used. In this release, ‘Display preferences’ logic is not applied to Property Info.
For example, If the user displays the Property Info related to ‘production’ property in Formulas plansheet (‘production’ is a property in the Formulas and the Processes classes):
- If the Display Names are not specified for an element, the Property Info is displayed as:
-
production = SUM (Processes.production)
-
production >= 0
-
- If the Display Names are specified as follows:
- In Formulas class:
- The Display Name of ‘Production’ property is production_1.
- Class Display Name = not defined
- In Processes class:
- The Display Name of ‘Production’ property is production_2.
- Class Display Name = not defined
- In Formulas class:
- The Property Info is displayed as:
-
production_1 = SUM(Processes.production_2)
-
production_1 >= 0
-
Property definitions using attributes are only applicable to the ‘CARRY’ function. This function is not used in Supply Chain Optimization (SCO). However, the ‘CARRY’ function can be added to an existing property in SCO. Else, you can create a custom Planning Engine Definition by using the 'CARRY' function while defining a property. For example:
Property1 = CARRY(Property2, A, B, Property3)
Where ‘A’ and ‘B’ = attributes, Property2 and Property3 = properties in the same class.
These rules determine the information to be displayed on the Property Info window:
- If a lower bound is not specified in the class model, the lower bound defaults to 0. For example, Property Name >= 0.
- If the property does not have an upper bound, the upper bound is not displayed.
- If the property is an atomic property (which can be an undefined property or a default
property), the Property definition is displayed as follows:
- 'UNDEFINED' in the Property Info window.
- 'UNDEFINED' in the class model if the property is an undefined property.
- The property default value in the class model if the property is a default property. For example, carbon weight = 10;.
- The property information can also be accessed using the text version of the class model.
- The menu is not applicable for query cells and class count cells in plansheets.
