The linking of modes of two related activities.

There are several options for mode linkage:

• Linkage of modes with identical names - The modes of the activities must have identical names for linkage. The activities must also have the same number of modes.
• Linkage of modes according to the primary resource - Modes are linked from two activities that are assigned to the same primary resource. In this case, the mode names are unimportant.

Example

• Linkage of modes with identical names:
• Activity 1 (mode abc)
• Activity 2 (mode abc)

The modes with identical names are linked for activities 1 and 2.

• Linkage of modes according to the primary resource
• Activity 1 (mode abc, primary resource 123)
• Activity 2 (mode def, primary resource 123)
• Modes with identical primary resources are linked.
