Compound operation preferences

Unlike a standard operation, which can define only a single activity, a compound operation can contain multiple execution steps that break that operation into specific steps to be executed. End users employ compound operations in the same way as standard operations in a work flow or work instructions authoring process. For example, for each compound operation, they can edit summary properties, assign documents and other attachments, capture and save images, set effectivity, and validate occurrence effectivity.

Compound operations and execution steps can include custom object types. Preferences include the following.

• EP_CreateSubtypesForType_Mfg0MECompOP defines the types of compound operation available when users create compound operations (EP_CreateSubtypesForType_ + value). Default: Mfg0MECompOP.

• EP_CreateSubtypesForType_Mfg0MEStep defines the types of execution steps available for each compound operation (EP_CreateSubtypesForType_ + value). Default: Mfg0MEStep.
