Create, import and edit process elements

Basic information on process elements:

• Process elements are required in order to carry out accurate calculations of transports and personnel.
• By creating a process element in the process element management module and assigning it in the SSC, the time of this process element is taken into account in the transport and personnel calculation.
• Process elements consist of 0:n time elements

There are two ways of adding process elements to ipolog:

• Import process elements
• Create process elements

Import process elements

Via "Import" process elements can be imported from a .xls file. Further Information on this file can be found here.

Note: All time elements contained in the process elements are imported automatically.

Create process elements

Process elements can either be created manually or composed of different time elements.

1. Process elements can be created using the "New" button. Click the button to open the "Create process elements" view.
2. In the "Name" field, a name for the process element can be entered.
3. In addition, each process element must be assigned a unique code. The length of the code is limited to 50 characters.
4. Additional information on the process element can be entered in the "Comment" field.
5. If time elements are imported, the time elements from the time element catalog can be assigned to the process element by double-clicking. As soon as time elements are assigned, the total time (6) of the assigned time elements is displayed.
6. If no time elements are assigned, a time can also be entered manually for the total time. Note that a period must be used for decimal separation.
7. With "Accept", the created process element is transferred to the process element catalog
