Attaching forms

You can add forms to your structure, and fill out attributes within these forms. The following Microsoft Excel sheet shows an example of this.

Header1	Item	Item	Item	Description	Attribute
Header2	Item	Item	Item		ItemRevision Master
Header3	Item	Item	Item		project_id
Title	Root	Proc. Name	Op. Name	Description	Item Project ID
	Product			New Product	Project xyz
		Sub_Assy1		New_Sub_Assy1	Project 1
			Part1	Desc of Part1	Project 1
			Part2	Desc of Part2	Project 1
			Part3	Desc of Part3	Project 1
			Part4	Desc of Part4	Project 1
		Sub_Assy2		New_Sub_Assy2	Project2
			Part5	Desc of Part5	Project2
			Part6	Desc of Part6	Project2
		Sub_Assy3		New_Sub_Assy3	Project3
			Part7	Desc of Part7	Project3

Item Master and ItemRevision Master are keywords that signify that the values in those columns should be inserted into the master form or the revision master form, respectively, of the type specified in the Header2 row. The entry in the Header3 row specifies the attribute to be filled in by the given values. This must be in the internal format specified in the Business Modeler IDE application (for example, in the previous example, the Project ID string is shown in the user interface, but the string shown in the Business Modeler IDE application is project_id).

You can also add a form of your choice to the structure. In the following example, in addition to entering a value in the revision master form for program ID, you add the ImpactAnalysis form to the operations and fill in the cost estimate field with the given values.

Header1	Item	Item	Description	Attribute	Attribute
Header2	Process	OP		ItemRevision Master	ImpactAnalysis Form
Header3	Process	OP		program_id	cost_estimate
Title	Proc	Oper	Desc	AttrProgram #	Cost
	Attribute_Test			F4711 0815
		OP10	Description for OP10	F4711 0816	100.50
		OP20	Description for OP20	F4711 0817	123.45
		OP30	Description for OP30	F4711 0818
		OP40	Description for OP40	F4711 0819	200.00
		OP50	Description for OP50	F4711 0820	222.88
		OP60	Description for OP60	F4711 0821
		OP70	Description for OP70	F4711 0822	90.00

This results in the following structure.
