• Each time you enter a value for a characteristic on the value assignment screen and confirm the value, the system processes all the dependencies.• The dependencies are processed in the following sequence:1. All actions several times, until no more values can be inferred.2. All procedures exactly once in the following sequence:

a) Procedures for the configuration profile in the order you definedb) Procedures for characteristicsc) Procedures for characteristic values

The procedures for each characteristic or value are processed in the order you defined.3. ActionsValues set by procedures can also trigger actions. For this reason, all actions are processed again.4. Preconditions5. Selection conditions for characteristicsConstraints are processed in parallel with points 1–3, if all the objects in the OBJECTSsection are present, and if all the conditions in the CONDITIONS section are fulfilled
