Input parameters
The following input parameters are defined for this template:
actual_mission (Type= 'ENTITY (Activity_actual)' )
This is the actual mission the product was being used on when the usage was reported.
description (Type='STRING', Optional)
This is a description of the Product usage.

This is a description of operating conditions outside design parameters when the usage was reported.
ID (Type='STRING')
This is the identifier of the product usage report.
source_organization (Type='STRING')
The organization that created the identifier. Additionally a Person or Information System could be defined when either of these are the source; see Identifier template.

Reference parameters
The following reference parameters are defined for this template:
prod_usage_fbk(Type='ENTITY (Activity_actual)')
Allow the Activity_actual entity instantiated in this path to be referenced when this template is used.
Note: The Activity_actual entity can be referenced in a template path by:
%^target = $product_usage_feedback.prod_usage_fbk%
where target is the parameter to which the Activity_actual is bound.
Uniqueness constraints

The following parameter combinations specify a uniqueness constraint:
Unique constraint: Product_Usage_Feedback
Each instance of the entity (Activity_actual) within the data set shall be uniquely identified by a combination of the following parameters on this template (product_usage_feedback) namely: ID, related_product, recorded_by.
The instance is referenced by the following template parameter: prod_usage_fbk.
