Enter Progress of Design Object
Explanation
This activity is used to enter a design object's progress.
The progress of a design object is established when a
milestone template and a milestone is connected to the design object, for example,
an existing milestone with a cumulative progress value of 0% can be selected for the
initial stage of your design object.
A milestone template consists of one or more milestones
and each milestone will have a pre-defined progress percentage value. These
values are defined in design basic data. There are several methods that can be
used to enter the progress for a design object using milestone templates and
milestones;
- Define a milestone template and an initial milestone
for an object class. When you create a design object using this object
class, progress values appear automatically. For more information refer to the Assign a Milestone Template to an Object Class
activity description.
- As detailed in this activity, you can manually
enter the progress of the design object by selecting an appropriate
milestone template and milestone.
- Select a design status for the milestone you
create, for example, you can define a progress value of 100% for the Set
Completed status. As a result progress values are automatically updated on
the design object when the Set Completed status is selected. For more
information refer to the activity description, Create a Milestone Template.
When the progress of a design object changes (i.e., a
different milestone number is selected) the history record for this object will
be updated. As a result, the Information Category field will receive the
value Progress Changed.
If a project and an activity is defined on the selected
design object, the progress values you enter will be updated on the project
activity. Design object progress on the activity is calculated in the same way
as a project task. For more information refer to the Project
Management in IFS/Asset Design about description.
Prerequisites
- Milestone templates and milestones need
to be defined in design basic data.
- If a project connection already exists, the project activity needs to exist in the Released status
to be able to enter a progress value greater than 0%.
System Effects
If the design object is connected to a project and project activity, the progress is updated on the project activity.

Procedure
- Open the Design Object,
Design Objects or the
Project Connections window.
- Search for the design object for which progress should be entered.
Additionally, in
the case of the Design Object window, click the
Project tab.
- In the Milestone Template field, enter the milestone template to
be connected to the design object. Use the List of Values to select a suitable value.
- In the Milestone Number
field, enter the milestone number which will reflect the progress of the
object. Use the List of Values to select a suitable value. When you
select a milestone number, pre-defined values for the Cumulative Progress
and Cumulative Duration fields appear automatically.
- Click Save.
