How to Use the Expansion Tables

The following steps demonstrate how to use the expansion tables.

  1. Identify the subset type required.
  2. Select the subset type option design, which is the default, if you intend to perform planning, analysis, or design tasks. Select the subset type option unit or system test for construction tasks, depending on your intent.
  3. Determine which scoping objects to include in your subset.
  4. Find the scoping object expansion table for the scoping object and subset type option you determined in steps 1 and 2.
  5. Determine what expansions include the expansion objects you need by comparing what is included with the various expansions listed in the first column.
  6. Evaluate internal expansions

    For each expansion object that is documented with an expansion option in the and will expand column, see the expansion table for the expansion object and note the expansion objects associated with this object's expansion, their respective protections, and expansions, if any.

    Internal expansions are not selectable. The following table lists expansion options that are selectable and those that are internal.

  1. Identify the lowest expansion that includes the needed expansion objects at the protection required to perform your task.

Note: If you select Read protection for a scoping object, all of its expanded objects will be granted Read protection also.
