#### 5.1.3.18 IfcRelAssignsToProcess

| Assignation à processus
| Weist Prozess zu - Relation

The objectified relationship IfcRelAssignsToProcess handles the assignment of one or many objects to a process or activity. An object can be a product that is the item the process operates on. Processes and activities can operate on things other than products, and can operate in ways other than input and output.

> EXAMPLE It may be common to define processes during estimating or scheduling that describe design tasks (resulting in documents), procurement tasks (resulting in construction materials), planning tasks (resulting in processes), etc. Furthermore, the ways in which process can operate on something might include "installs", "finishes", "transports", "removes", etc. The ways are described as operation types.

The inherited attribute RelatedObjects gives the references to the objects, or object type, which the process operates on. The RelatingProcess is the process or process type, that operates on the object. The operation types are captured in the inherited attribute Name.

> NOTE The agreement on valid and recognizable values for the Name attribute is part of view definitions and implementer agreements.

> HISTORY New entity in IFC1.5. Has been renamed from IfcRelProcessOperatesOn in IFC2x.

> IFC4 CHANGE The data type RelatingProcess has been extended to cover also IfcTypeProcess
