System Response

The ?Stop Technical Status Aggregation Here? indicator affects the
system as follows:
If you <ZH>have selected this indicator</>, the bottom-up technical
status aggregation stops at the current critical equipment. The
aggregated technical status for this critical equipment has no relevance
to the technical status aggregation for the superior critical equipment
or the master equipment in the technical object structure.
If you <ZH>have not selected this indicator</>, the bottom-up technical
status aggregation does not stop at the current critical equipment. The
technical status aggregation for the superior critical equipment or the
master equipment considers the aggregated technical status for this
critical equipment.
Changing the selection of this indicator, when the critical equipment is
installed in a technical structure, can therefore have a major impact on
the calculation and display of the aggregated technical status for the
superior critical equipment or the master equipment.
