Development assignment can use different selectors or views of the development data. In addition, each development assignment can use a different development setting and subset of the design tool suite for the development. For example, you can define a development assignment for layout engineers that specifies the data (no view), engineer tool suites (such as Cadence), and a development setting that is set up for a locking model. You could also define a development assignment for documentation that specifies a subset of the data (using a view) and the documentation tool suites (such as a web-authoring tool) with a development setting set up for a merge model. A development assignment is specific to a development. It links these aspects of the development:
If a development assignment does not have any design tool suites associated with it, the assignment has access to ALL design tools suites associated with the development. However, if any design tool suites are associated with the development assignment, then only those tool suites can be used by people with that development assignment. If you use modules-based design data for the development, you can define the modules view to restrict the data populated for the development areas using this assignment. | |||||||
