Creating Subcontract Operation - Extended Exercises  

Basic Data Setup

IMPORTANT

If you are a student, it is extremely important that you set up and work within your own site to maintain your data integrity. 

If you work within any other site, you will compromise your own exercise data as well as the data of other students. Predictable exercise results require that your data be isolated in your own site.
