This activity is used to create and manage configuration rules for resources required for the execution item template. An execution item template is made possible to register all possible resource alternatives connected to work lists which are required by the design. A rule can be defined on every resource alternative, by adding appropriate rule conditions and respective actions. These conditions are evaluated and actions are performed based on the configuration criteria inputs later in the configuration phase. This can be performed in Compatible Unit Template Navigator page.
It is possible define the resource rule criteria as conditions and expected resource demand as actions. Condition allows you to define logical expressions to determine selection criteria based on specific configuration values or ranges of values. Actions are used to define actions to perform. If the expression is true, the actions defined are executed. If the expression is false, the resource itself is ignored and actions are not executed. The absence of a condition means that the original requirement will be inherited by default.
Resources connected to a work list should be defined with at least one of the execution items.
As a result of this activity, a resource rule will be created and available for evaluation.
