Manage Step Future Actions#

Step.ManageFutureActions

Overview#

This operation is used to define Future Actions to be applied to a Material while at a Step.

Setup#

The configuration /Cmf/System/Configuration/MaterialTracking/FutureActions/Hold/AllowDuplicateReasons controls the behavior of duplicated holds. There are three possible values for this setting:

• No (default) - does not allow duplicate hold reasons for the same hold context.
• Yes - allows duplicate hold reasons for the same hold context, provided that the hold reason supports multiple concurrent instances (in case that this property is changed later at the hold reason, it will not have an effect on existing future holds).
• YesUniqueComments - same as Yes but in addition the system will check that the comments are unique for each hold context and hold reason, and that the comments are not duplicated.

Preconditions#

• The Step exists and it is Active.
• To edit a Future Action, the current user must be the user that created the Future Action.
