Filling your Worklist with Focus Objects (Date Validity)
Purpose
After you have defined the selection criteria and selection range for your worklist and clicked , the system fills your worklist in two steps. This process describes the first of the two stages.
The system only uses this process, if your organization uses the Engineering Change Management (LO-ECH) component and uses
Process Flow
The system does this as described in
Focus Object Selection, although the following applies if an object has more than one change status: The object fulfills the selection criteria if at least one of its change statuses fulfills the selection criteria.It is not obligatory for a copied change status to fulfill the selection criteria (see the example following).
Result
The system fills your worklist with change statuses for the focus objects.
To fill your worklist with change statuses for the environment objects, the system then executes the
Filling your Worklist with Environment Objects (Date Effectivity) process.Example
Header A has two change statuses (see table):
Header A Change Statuses
Change status |
Status |
Validity period |
CH1 |
Created |
January |
CH2 |
Released (general) |
February |
Your working area has header as its focus. You enter the selection criterion "all released headers". In the selection range you enter the month of January as the selection period.
Header A is a focus object, as its change status CH2 fulfills the selection criterion in February. However, CH2 is not copied to the worklist, as it is invalid in January. On the other hand, CH1 does not meet the selection criteria, but is valid in January. CH1 is therefore copied to the worklist.
