Allocation

Description

User can use this feature to allocate an object at base layer to one or more objects at planning layer.

User can import allocations between base layer to the appropriate planning layer.

The following options are available for importing allocations:

1. The planning layer is empty.

If import an allocation into an empty planning layer, the planning objects are created to reflect the allocation and their reference points are determined.

2. The planning layer already contains planning objects, but it does not yet contain allocations.

If allocation contains objects that do not exist at planning layer, user can add them, or ignore this.

3. The planning layer already contains both planning objects and allocations.
