Allow the Document entity instantiated in this path to be referenced when this template is used.

Note: The Document entity can be referenced in a template path by:

%^target = $support_component_option.doc%

where target is the parameter to which the Document is bound.

Allow the Document_definition entity instantiated in this path to be referenced when this template is used.

Note: The Document_definition entity can be referenced in a template path by:

%^target = $support_component_option.doc_def%

where target is the parameter to which the Document_definition is bound.

Unique constraint: Support_component_option

Each instance of the entity (Document) within the data set shall be uniquely identified by a combination of the following parameters on this template (support_component_option) namely: ID, related_support_component, related_support_concept, related_support_option.
The instance is referenced by the following template parameter: doc.

The instance diagram in Figure 4 shows an example of the EXPRESS entities and templates that are instantiated by the template:

/support_component_option(ID='RC123', source_organization='UK_Defence', recommended_by='@997', related_support_component='@904', related_support_concept='@738', related_support_option='@818')/

(an illustration of the consolidated support_component_option template is shown in Figure 5 below.)

The instance diagram in Figure 5 shows the graphic symbol for the template that is to be used in other instance diagrams. The example template is:

/support_component_option(ID='RC123', source_organization='UK_Defence', recommended_by='@997', related_support_component='@904', related_support_concept='@738', related_support_option='@818')/
