  - Production Model
    The production model presents a set of resources used to describe a product as a collection of components and the processes applied to those components.
  - Add properties or parameters to a resource
  - Modify the name and description of a property or parameter
  - Modify the values for a property or parameter
  - Delete properties or parameters from a resource
  - Work Data Classes
    Work data classes are defined by users and associated with process segments.
  - Work Process Segments
    Work process segments define an activity and the resources required to carry out the activity. It outlines the data associated with a process.
  - Work Definition Segments
    Work definition segments reference a single work process segment and refine the details that describe what the work process segment will accomplish.

Work Definition Parameters Tab

The Parameters tab allows you to add, modify, and delete parameters that are specific to the selected work definition, and to view parameters that are inherited from an associated work definition segment.

Work process segment parameters are inherited by associated work definition segments. If you add, modify, or delete a work process segment parameter, all associated work definition segments are also affected.

The following table describes the attributes specific to this resource type.

Attribute	Value	Description
List	User-defined	Displays a list of parameters for the selected resource that can be arranged by name, type, and so on, depending on the parameter. These parameters can be inherited from another resource or created for the current resource.
Add Parameter	N/A	Click to add a new parameter.
Delete Selection	N/A	Click to remove the selected parameter.
Name	User-defined alphanumeric string (A-Z, a-z, 0-9) up to 50 characters	Specifies a display name for the selected parameter.
Description	User-defined alphanumeric string (A-Z, a-z, 0-9) up to 255 characters	Provides more information about a parameter that a user may find helpful.
Data Type	System-defined	Specifies the data type of the parameter. This parameter cannot be changed if it is inherited from another resource.
Value	User-defined alphanumeric string (A-Z, a-z, 0-9) up to 255 characters	Specifies the value for the selected data type. Valid values depend on the selected data type.
UoM (Unit of Measure)	User-defined alphanumeric string (A-Z, a-z, 0-9) up to 255 characters	Specifies the unit of measure for the data type, such as gallons, inches, tons.
