Orientation to the Burden Templates Window

The Burden Templates window displays information about the burden templates defined for a global ID. Each template row is highlighted with a gray background. The burden codes assigned to each template are displayed in the rows below the template ID.

Why the Burden Code Order is Important

Templates and the burden codes under each template are listed in the order you enter them. MPM applies burdens against a resource in the same order as they are listed in a template, so the order of the burdens is important.
