Ancillary Compatibility

The Ancillary Compatibility window defines which associated ancillaries are available to the user for each particular ancillary type.

Select Ancillaries

The Select Ancillaries tab displays the list of available ancillary support standards. Filter criteria can be used to specify which ancillary support standards are displayed in the list. Refer to GUI Grid Data for further information.

Each ancillary type is associated with a particular support class and MDU database. For example, an AT01 is associated with a welded shoe support class. The support class of the selected ancillary displays in the Support Class column and can be modified using the drop-down list.

Right-click the currently selected cell to display a drop-down menu.

Compatible Support Classes

Only one support class can be set for an ancillary to which single or multiple compatible support classes can be added. The list of compatible support classes is used to add associated ancillaries to the selected ancillary.

To make a support class available, select an item in the list of available support classes and click the right arrow at the side of the list. The item is transferred to the adjacent list. Click the left arrow to reverse the action.

Compatible Ancillaries

The list of compatible ancillaries contains all compatible ancillaries (populated from the selections made in the list of compatible support classes).

The list of restricted ancillaries allows you to specify the ancillaries that are excluded during support creation.

To exclude an ancillary from support creation, select an item in the list of compatible ancillaries and click the right arrow at the side of the list. The item is transferred to the adjacent list. Click the left arrow to reverse the action.

The combination of the lists defines the ancillary types that the user can select from.
