How to configure new created ItemType

Hello, I've just encountered a configuration problem. I hope that you can give me some advice. After I created a new ItemType by myself in a TOC category (for example: Manufacturing Process Plan), I was able to create a new instance of this type. However, since the "Operation" type of Manufacturing Process Plan can insert other types like "tools", "skills", etc, how should I do configurations so that "Operation" can also insert my created new ItemType instance? By the way, in the relation tab, I've also set up the relation to the "Operation". Thanks for your reply in advance.

    Hello, The easiest to accomplish this would be to add your new ItemType as a Poly Source of the mpp_Resource ItemType.
    1. Login as admin
    2. Navigate to Administration > ItemTypes
    3. Open the mpp_Resource ItemType
    4. Navigate to the Poly Sources RelationshipTab
    5. Select "Pick Related" and select your new ItemType
    6. Save the mpp_Resource ItemType
    After this, when you use the "Insert Resource" action in the process plan editor, you should see that you can search for and pick items of your new ItemType. Chris ___________________________________________ Christopher Gillis Aras Labs Software Engineer
