I haven´t tried it yet, but I am pretty sure Steps can be customized the same way. Just try to get a feeling of how Aras names stuff in Innovator.
When the Method 'mpp_OperationElementRenderer' renders our Operations, how would you call a Method that renders 'Steps'? :-)
Quote: "...the operational cycle time is the sum of the cycle times of the steps right?". There is no right or wrong answer, but I would calculate it this way. If you change a step, it has direct influence to the parent levels
Steps are Relationships of Operations. And Operations are Relationships of ProcessPlans. So I would just rollup this structure.
For the rollup there are two option: Do you just want to display the sum (on demand calculation) or do you want to store the value in the database?
Hey Angela, I thought along the same ways and manged to get a hold of mpp_stepelementrenderer method. Have made similar mods there , at least for the WIS so far, and works well (I did however not like the fact that adding a new variable for the timing entered that text in the WIS in the next line to the Step title. So I added the cycle-time property capture in the 'Stepcaption' variable instead - seems to work and nothing has exploded yet. So sticking to it for now)
For the time roll-up, level 1 feature request would be of course just sum up and display. But If i need to meaningfully roll-up the times and then use it to do labour costing for a particular process, having access to that data stored in DB would be necessary i think
