What are STAMs and STVMs?

The Schedule Template Attribute Map (STAM) defines which attribute your organization uses when automatically generating schedules from ECNs. The Schedule Template Value Map (STVM) defines the actual value of the attribute you defined in the STAM. You can create more than one STAM/STVM pair for each schedule.

Before the program manager can automatically generate schedules from change notices, a system administrator must create Schedule Template Attribute Maps (STAM) and Schedule Template Value Maps (STVM). These two maps work together to identify which attributes and values are used when schedules are automatically generated from the change. Typically, the system administrator creates the necessary STAMs and STVMs prior to the start of the program, and the same STAM/STVM pairs are used throughout the duration of the program.
