Example B

You can also link related objects such as consumed/required parts, work areas, or resources. In this example, you link plant information (Workarea) to a process structure.

Header1 Item Item Description ItemID Sequence
Header2 WorkArea WorkArea
Header3 Plant Station
Title Root Station Description Store markers Seq. No.
Plant–Root M:proot
OP10 Station 1 M:op10 100
OP20 Station 2 M:op20 110
OP30 Station 3 M:op30 120
OP40 Station 4 M:op40 130
OP50 Station 5 M:op50 140
Header1 Item Item Description Relation Sequence
Header2 Process OP Workarea
Header3 Process OP
Title Root Oper Description Link to markers Seq. No.
Process–Root L:proot
OP10 Read L:op10 100
OP20 Get L:op20 110
OP30 Record L:op30 120
OP40 Save L:op40 130
OP50 Send L:op50 140

As a result, you get the following two linked structures.

The plant objects are linked to the process structure using the specified WorkArea occurrence type.
