Define a new Structure Position

Explanation

This activity is used to register a new structure position for a template structure. A modification can introduce one or more new template structure positions. This structure change will be introduced into the template structure through the modification revision on which this activity is performed. Note that the template structure will not be updated automatically, instead, you need to select the Add Position to Template menu option to perform the update manually. For more information, refer the Add Structure Position activity.

Prerequisites

• The modification must have been created. This modification must be in the Preliminary status.
• The template structure must have been created.

System Effects

• A new structure position is defined for the template structure.
• The new structure position can be added to the template structure by using the Add Position to Template menu option.
• Once the modification is activated, the new structure position is a valid position for a serial that has performed the modification.
