| - | Mandatory Controls, simply by the presence of a system name, are considered to be applied on the order level. The influence in Metis Smart Quotes is that the ordering process will be blocked for the Metis Smart Quotes end user until an external configurator control can be performed, but it will still be possible to view and print offer documents. There is no icon to represent the Mandatory Control applied on the order level. | + | Mandatory Controls, simply by the presence of a [[Metis_Smart_Modeling_-_Systems|system]] name, are considered to be applied on the order level.

| - | Mandatory Control intended for systems which do not have system names. They require Metis Smart Quotes end users to perform a mandatory control of system configuration. The mandatory controls of systems will have to be performed manually by an especially authorized user as opposed to being handled by an external configurator control like Mandatory Control. Will be applied on the offer level. It is basically the same as the Mandatory Internal Control (Order) with the added restriction that it will not be possible for the end user to view and print offer documents. | + | Mandatory Control intended for [[Metis_Smart_Modeling_-_Systems|systems]] which do not have system names.

| - | Mandatory Controls intended for systems which do not have system names. Similar to the above Mandatory Control, they also require Metis Smart Quotes end users to perform a mandatory control of system configuration. The mandatory controls of systems will have to be performed manually by an specifically authorized user as opposed to being handled by an external configurator control like White Flags. Will be applied on the order level, meaning that the ordering process will be blocked for the Metis Smart Quotes end user until a manual control can be performed. It will still be possible for the end user to view and print offer documents, however. | + | Mandatory Controls intended for [[Metis_Smart_Modeling_-_Systems|systems]] which do not have system names.

| - | | The White Flag (Offer) and a Grey Flag can be active on the same rule at the same time. However, Grey Flags will not have any influence on a system which has a system name. Systems which have a system name will only take into account whether or not the White Flag (Offer) has been applied. Conversely, the White Flag (Offer) setting will have no influence on systems which do not have a system name. | + | | The White Flag (Offer) and a Grey Flag can be active on the same rule at the same time.
