Aggregating a time grid attribute with links

You can aggregate a time grid attribute by using an incoming links attribute. The source time grid must have a link attribute in the same module, and the target must have an incoming links attribute. You can have a standard sheet in the link aggregation time grid. You can edit and compare this sheet with the link aggregated sheets.

Before you begin

You must have a module (module A) that contains a time grid and a link attribute that links to another module (module B).

Procedure

  1. Click Configure > Attributes, and select the module to add the attribute to.
  2. Click Add Attribute. A window to add the new time grid attribute is displayed.
  3. Enter a name for the time grid attribute.
  4. Select Use as link aggregation Time Grid. When you select this option, the General Time Grid settings option is disabled.
  5. In Incoming Link Attribute, select the incoming link. All time grid attributes in that module are listed.
  6. From Time Grid Attribute, select a time grid and click OK.
  7. Link the elements in the module A to the elements in module B.
  8. Select an element in the module B. The incoming link attribute displays the elements from module A.
  9. Verify the values in rows in different sheets of time grid. The aggregated value of time grid of linked elements is displayed.
