Propagation is the process of automatically copying field values from one field to another. It is designed to run via the use of triggers, configured via a database table.
Based on the settings made on this screen, when a particular field is entered in a job within a Hierarchy, that data will automatically populate the same field in the child jobs.
Example:
In Framework ECM, Job # 115566 is an Estate job. Within the Hierarchy, it has a child Estate Stage job, and that Estate Stage has four Land & Building jobs.
We want the Land Developer to automatically be set for the Estate Stage and four Land & Building jobs when it is selected for the Estate.
To do this we create a Propagation field record that associates this action to the table.
In this example, we are saying that when the Land Developer is allocated to a job, if that job has a child in the hierarchy, this allocation will be applied to the child as well.
