Connect Node

Explanation

This activity is used to reconnect a disconnected node to a consolidation structure.

In order to perform this activity:

The status of the consolidation structure should be In Progress.
The node to be reconnected should be available in the Floating Nodes section.

As a result of this activity, a new node connection is created between a disconnected node and an existing node in the consolidation structure.

To connect a disconnected node:

Open Consolidation Structure window and search for the consolidation structure to which the node should be connected.
Right-click on the node to which the new node should be connected and click Connect Node to open the Connect Node dialog box.
In the Node field, enter the ID of the node you want to connect to the consolidation structure. The List of Values can be used to select the required node.
In the Ownership field, enter the ownership percentage for the new connection.
Select a value for the Consolidation Method field.
Enter the date of connection in the Event Date field.
Modify the value displayed in the Period field if required. (Note: The period is automatically displayed when you enter a date in the Event Date field.)
Enter a description in the Comment field if required.
Double click on the Notes check box, if you want to enter notes.
Click OK.
