    14. Note that on the Characteristic Evaluation screen, the characteristics Road surface in m2 and Volume of hole in m3 are not ready for input. The evaluation of these takes place using the characteristic values of the other characteristics (for example, the volume of the hole is calculated from the length, breadth, and depth of the hole: Compare with the previous activity). Furthermore, you cannot (yet) see the characteristic Kind of barrier. This characteristic is controlled by the system, so that it is appears ready for input only when the hole is deeper than 1 meter.

    You can enter the value either directly, by using the F4 help, or, if any are available, you can choose from the given characteristic values. To do this, choose, for example, the characteristic Location using the F4 help and select the characteristic value you want (for example, Production area). Choose .

    You can also see that the characteristic Kind of barrier now appears, and that it is filled with the value Shuttering wood. In the previous activity (relationships in the configuration profile) we determined that the barrier should be made of shuttering panels where the width of the hole is less than 2m (relationship ABSPERRUNG_SCHAL).
