Setting up Manufacturer Rules for Construction Forms

Manufacturer rules make it possible to remove unnecessary properties from construction forms, making them easier for users to complete. For example, in this form for a circuit breaker, the Nameplate gas weight, Metal clad, and Number of gauges properties are invisible. They could also be shown as read-only (irrelevant visible).

This functionality is supported for circuit breaker and operator asset types only.

Note: Properties that are controlled by manufacturer options cannot be designated as “Mandatory” in the construction form template’s asset type properties. If they are irrelevant, they will fail the construction form validation process.
