Reactions and Actions in Knowledgeware Advisor

[Arkangel]

Good Day, All.

I am trying to have some actions take place right after a part has been instantiated from a catalog. I have tried to use Reactions with the Instantiation option but has never worked. I don't know if Actions will do the trick for me, either. I need to have the process of the part/feature being created from the catalog to be the catalyst for future things to take place.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. This has been a thorn in my side for a while.

How is the part submitted to the catalog?
If you use a knowledge template link to the catalog you will be able to fire a reaction.

I am not familiar with knowledge template links. We currently do not have the Product Knowledge Template (PKT) license. Is PKT a prerequisite for using Reactions and Actions?

I submit the features to the catalog along with the KBE Reactions in the same PowerCopy.
