Items

The Specification screen is a list of individual items for which selection of materials and colours may be made. Each item on the Specification Screen belongs to a Specification group.

...

A number of specification profiles include properties to which dependencies exist. An example of this is in Brick selection, where selection of the manufacturer will determine the groups of bricks available, which in turn determine the colours available for selection.

Viewing Specification Items

...

The Specification dialog in Standard Selection view is used to choose options that already exist in the item's profile. The Specification dialog has four columns that are used to make a selection. Where a column is not applicable for a particular selection item, N/A will be chosen as the group heading. This means that there is no selection to be made. Each column also includes a Search field and a Notes field.

Custom Selection

The Custom Selection mode of the dialog is used to enter non-standard options and related notes. The dialog has four columns that are used to manually type a selection. The Custom Selection mode of the dialog uses the same profile headings for an item as the Standard Selection mode. Where a column is not required for a particular item, N/A will be displayed in the group heading. This means that an entry is not required for that column. Each column has space for notes. When entering non-standard items, users may need to enter selection details for the item. If, at a later date, the client decides to change the custom selection for a standard one, all previously entered information will be overwritten.
