Connect Existing Stop Event

Explanation

Use this activity to connect one or more stop events to the selected stop event record. The success of stop event connections depend on the stop event type defined for the events.

• When you want to connect a stop event as underlying another stop event, the underlying stop event must have the stop event type No Production Loss.
• When you want to connect several stop events to each other on the same level of the structure, all stop events must have the stop event type No Production Loss.

Prerequisites

• Information for the selected stop event as well as the stop event to be connected must be saved before you can proceed with the connection.
• The stop event type must be No Production Loss for the stop event which is to be connected as an underlying event.
• The stop event type must be No Production Loss for all stop events that will be connected at the same level.

System Effects

• One or more stop events will be connected to the selected stop event record.
• The event numbers for the connected stop events will be displayed in the Connected Events field found in the Stop Event window.
• If you view a stop event underlying another stop event in the structure, the ID of the parent event can be viewed in the Connected Parent field. Note: This field will only be visible when a parent exists for the chosen stop event record.
