How settings on this window affect a full-featured SDS2 program :

The Fabricator Options that you can review on this window set up categories that users of a full-featured SDS2 program can apply as classifications to members. For example, the user can set up cost categories such as "dollars per ton," "dollars per hour," or "dollars per foot" to aid in billing. Users of a full-featured SDS2 program can apply categories to members using any one of the following methods:

• Member category (to apply categories to members)
• Update Attributes (to apply categories to groups of members)

Member classification by category can be reviewed in Site Planning using the following tools or reports:

• Category ( Model ing > Status Display > Member status > )
• Sheet Loading Report (may be organized by category)
• Status Report by Category (may be organized by category)
