Construct
A {Full Construction} Source is added in Target Design.
In cases where no legacy data is available, a user can assign a Source of Full Construction, which can be used as a single Source or as one of multiple Sources for a Target. Once the Source is saved, AutoGen builds the Construct page (using the Target’s active fields), the underlying table, and associated rules and stores them in the dsbDSPConstruct database delivered with the installation.
For example, a Full Construction page could be created to build a certain material type, such as a service material for the MARA Target.
Metadata fields allow users to see how far along the construction project is towards completion. They are:
- The number of records in the construction table
- The number of estimated records to be completed (i.e., the number of active fields in the Target)
- The number of records that are completed
NOTE: The criteria for a record in the construction table to be considered construction complete is developed and applied at a client’s site based on client and Target system requirements.
These fields display on pages in Construct on the Construct Object, Construct Target and Construct Page pages and are used in the Construct charts, accessible from Console and Target Design. Refer to View Dashboard in Construct for more information.
NOTE: A Utility Target cannot use {Full Construction} as a Source data source.
NOTE: New custom pages and existing custom pages created with Full Construction can use Excel Integration and Bulk Execution. For Full Construction pages, these features are available after the user syncs a Target, using Target Design, with a Source of {Full Construction} with Map.
