The main purpose of the reference support functionality is to allow the user to add an existing ancillary to a framework.

For example, if when creating a new framework support there is an ancillary created on another pipe that the user wishes to add to the framework, the user can select the ancillary and it becomes part of the framework.

If the functionality is not available, refer to MDS Administrator Guide for further information.

  • XFT03

  • XFT04

  • XFT07
