Create Configuration Description Based on Characteristics

Explanation

Use this activity when you want to define the content of the configuration description. Configuration description definition is associated with a specific part configuration revision. The maximum text length of the configuration description is 2000 characters.

Configuration description can be defined to include characteristics and/or option values together with free text. If nothing is defined, the part description will be used as the configuration description. When a new configuration revision is created by copying, the configuration description will also be copied.
