Linking Work Definitions to a Job Order
Work definitions can be linked to a job order using a
job-order-to-work-definition link (
PTC.SCA.SCO.JobOrderWorkDefinitionLink). Any work definition can be linked to a job order, whether it is a root work definition (the top-level work definition for a set of work instructions) or a child work definition. Any number of work definitions can be linked to a job order, however, an individual work definition can be linked to only one job order. If you want to use a work definition more than once, you can
clone the work definition and then link the clones.
