Assigning Sub-Elements

Each element can reference multiple sub-elements. You can either review information in the list view, or you can click the Detail icon to display the assigned sub-element details in a window. The window also displays when you create a new sub-element assignment.

To assign new sub-elements to this element, you must be in edit mode.

  1. On the Assigned Sub-Element toolbar, click New. The system displays the Edit Sub-Element Header/Detail window.
  2. Specify this information:
    Sequence
    The sequence in which the system should evaluate and calculate this sub-element. When calculating standards, the system uses the sequence values to determine the order in which to evaluate each sub-element assigned to the element.
    Sub-Element
    Specify the sub-element assigned to the element at this sequence.
    Active
    Displays the Active setting of this sub-element. Only active sub-elements are considered in labor calculations. You cannot change this value here; you can only change this value on the original Sub-Element record.
    Frequency of Occurrence
    The number of times this sub-element occurs during the completion of this element. The system uses frequency information to calculate net normal time for the sub-element.
    Normal Time
    The time to complete this sub-element activity. You specify this value on the original sub-element record, and you cannot change it here.
    Net Normal Time
    The system-calculated net time to complete this sub-element when this action is performed as part of the element. This is the sum of the frequency of occurrence and the observed time. You cannot edit this information.
