GUI : Clash Manager Configuration Form

This form provides viewing and setup facilities for features of clash management. The central part of the form is occupied by several tabs. These are described in separate topics. The clash management features and the tabs associated with them are as follows:


Clash Management Feature	Associated Tab Titles
Data Access Control	Security
Automatic acceptance of certain clashes	Accept, Class*, Status
Automatic assignment of an owner discipline to a clash	Assign, Class, Discipline, Priority
Clash Manager Access Control	Project
Clash details	Comments, Level/Type
Automatic grouping of primitive clashes	Group
Advanced Filtering options for Clash Reports	Class, Priority, Status
MDBs and GTYPEs included in Tracking Changes	Gtype/Tracking

* The Class and Priority tabs are user-definable and can be configured for any attribute or user-defined attribute associated with the clashing elements or their owning hierarchy. (The names Priority and Class illustrate the typical configuration, and are used in this Online Guide for the tabs and for any form elements that display information derived from them.) It should be noted that the values of the attributes defined are stored against each clashing element in the Clash Manager database. This additional attribute information can be used in the Assign and Accept rules.

Buttons below the tabs have the following names and purposes:


OK	Saves updated data and closes the form
Save	Saves updated data and leaves the form displayed
Cancel	Closes the form without saving any updates.

Note:

If significant changes are made at this form, a message 'changes in Configuration require recomputation of Clash & Element Properties' is displayed. When this message is accepted, the Clash Recomputation form is automatically displayed.
