document or in another hypertext document. The hyperlink is activated with a
mouse click.
|
| Isometric
|
An isometric 3D drawing. Also
output files from Isogen and Spoolgen applications.
|
| Isometric Adapter
|
An interface that reads data
files from an Isometric system.
|
| Location Node
|
Used to set paths and assign
names to the paths; these paths are used in arguments for Managed Commands.
|
| Managed Command
|
An executable script file that
complies with the Windows Script File specification as well as additional
specifications and formatting requirements as specified by the schema
(RCTManagedCommands.xsd).
|
| Managed Command Note
|
Lists a managed command.
|
| Managed Command Workflow Node
|
Connects a managed command (from
the NetworkLayout tree) to the workflow and organizes its input parameters.
|
| MMS
|
Material Management System
|
| Network Location
|
An information model structure
that provides an explicit model of the digital world in which VCM
implementations reside.
|
| Node
|
In the workspace trees, each
item is a node. Nodes may also have sub-nodes, which you can open by
double-clicking a node.
|
| Node Attribute
|
An single item of data belonging
to a node.
|
| Node Tree
|
Displays nodes for the currently
loaded VCM dataset, which includes terminator nodes (those with no children)
and organizer nodes (those with children). The WorkFlow tree is an example of a
node tree.
|
| Organizer Node
|
Same as ascendant node. The node
parent containing the current node; a tree node that has sub-nodes.
|
| Parent Node
|
Same as organizer node.
|
| Regular Expression
|
A mechanism to select specific
strings from a set of character strings. A set of characters, metacharacters,
and operators that define a string or group of strings in a search pattern. A
string containing wildcard characters and operations that define a set of one
or more possible strings.
|
| Schema
|
A conceptual model of the
structure of a database that defines the data contents and relationships.
|
| Scripts
|
Small free running snippets of
code to perform specific tasks like modify a database or convert from one data
format to another.
|
| Session Node
|
Provides a means to collect and
group workflow runs when they complete execution.
|
| Status Bar
|
Shows the status of the program.
|
| Status Vis
|
Status Visualization
|
| Typical Step
|
A step to install an object based
on its Activity Type.
|
| UD Group
|
User Defined Group
|
| User Defined Group
|
Allows you to group components
according to user-defined specifications. You can rearrange components in the
i-model from an engineering data organization to a construction organization.
You also can organize the components into different user-defined groups
depending on the construction phase of the project.
|
| User Node
|
Users who have workflow
permissions to VCMs.
|
| User Permissions
|
Control what a logged-in user can
and cannot do.
|
| Validation
|
Checks if the managed command
with which the workflow is associated is present and correct, if any required
parameters are missing, or incorrectly placed VCM file, input file parameter,
or input folder parameter.
|
