Function Uses 

Use

In the Function Use view, determine in which template cells (line/column intersection) a Funktion can be used.

When arranging functions in sub-environments , the item categories, columns and column types available for you to process depends on the template application you chose. You can choose the template application through your filter entry before creating the function (see the example below and also Editing Functions, section "Creating functions").

Features

Overview/All Columns Tabs

Overview / All Columns: you can use the tab page Overview or All Columns for your entries. In Overview only the types of template columns are shown; for example, Object, Quantity, Activation, and Assignment Time. A marking applies to all columns of a particular type. All existing columns are shown in All Columns ; for example, Object, Quantity Plan, Activation Plan, Assignment Time Plan, Actual Quantity, Actual Activation, Actual Assignment time .

In editing mode: The selection in the Overview is valid for the column type (for example Quantity). In the All Columns tab you can, therefore edit all available columns with that type (for example if you deselect Plan Qty, the selection of Actual Qty remains).

The selection on the Overview tab shows you whether selections on the All Columns tab have been made uniformly or not:

Selection on Overview tab ( in editing mode)

Settings in All Columns

Tick in white field (changes possible)

All columns are selected

Tick in grayed out field (changes only possible in All Columns tab)

At least one, but not all columns are selected

No tick (changes possible)

No Columns are selected

Column Type

The column type shows you which item categories can be chosen (for example, Process, Sub-Template, Calculation Row, and so on). Which column types are available depends on the template application chosen (see example below).

Other Columns

Additional columns (object, quantity, and others): by marking the checkbox, you decide that the functions in these column-line combinations can be chosen.

Filter

By using the icon (Filter) while in a cell you can activate or deactivate further requirements, and thereby constrain the use requirements:

In editing mode: If you call the filter in the overview tab, you see through the selection of the usage criteria, whether they are uniformly set or not (in the individual columns of the All columns tab).
