Define Object Levels

Explanation

Use this activity to define object levels, which are used when defining new functional objects in IFS/Equipment. The object level defines on what level in an equipment structure a functional object is located. The lower the level ID, the higher in the hierarchy it is placed, the highest level is level '1'. 

The Serials Allowed field determines if serialized objects should be allowed to be placed under a functional object with this level. This will help you to ensure that the equipment structure is defined in a consistent way, and will prevent you from connecting serial objects to levels where no serials should exist.

Note: It is not possible to create a functional object under a serial object, and it is not possible to change the object level on the functional object once the object has been saved.
