Add an Aspect to a Work Type

You can add aspects to work types in the ShareDo Modeller. For more information on aspects see the Aspects article.

When you create a new work type, if you have not inherited aspects from the parent type or added aspects to the work type blade, the ShareDo type advisor displays a number of issues that you need to address, like this critical issue.
