+There are multiple levels that various structures can live at. Each level and structure type will effect how the structure will relate to the plan. Refer to the [[planning:userguide:tutorials:all_tutorials#structure_data_model|Structure Data Model Guide]] for more details.
-==== Site Level Structures ====
-Site level structures are predefined templated structures. The user is not allowed to edit any aspect of a Site Level structure. Site level structures may be used for prescriptions as long as they have been designated as a Target.
-==== Course Level Structures ====
-Course level structures are not predefined templated structures. Course level structures may be edited. A structure may be assigned as a Course level structure by choosing the box "New Course Structure"{{ :planning:userguide:tutorials:course_level_change.png?600 |}} The user at this point also has the choice of defining the Type of structure and also assigning it to one of the templated Site Structure. Structures that have been changed to Course level will have be designated as such by the word "course" appearing in parentheses beside the structure name. This is useful when a structure was misnamed during the contouring process. Course level structures that have been designated as Target structures can also be used for prescriptions. Ant structure with TV as part of its name will automatically be designated as a Course level structure.
-==== Custom Structures ====
-Custom structures show up at the Patient Model level. These are structures that were not part of the templated structures. The user has the option to assign a type of structure. {{ :planning:userguide:tutorials:structure_type.png?600 |}} This assignment of structure type will determine the types of constraints or objectives you can put on the structure.
-NOTE- Only structures with a Type of Target can be used as Beam Targets
-NOTE- Site level, Course level and Custom structures can be shared within plans on the same patient
-==== Plan Level Structures ====
-Plan level structures are structures created with the Astroid TPS. These structures are derived from existing structures. See [[planning:userguide:tutorials:patient_geometry|Patient Geometry]] on how these are created.
-===== Using Structures in Constraints and Objectives =====
-See [[planning:userguide:tutorials:optimization_constraints|Optimization Constraints]] and [[planning:userguide:tutorials:optimization_objectives|Optimization Objectives]] for definitions of Constraints and Objectives.
-When the user is setting up their Constraints only on Targets will they have the ability to set minimum doses to be achieved for the minimum dose and the minimum mean dose. The user can also set the maximum dose they want to be achieved along with the maximum mean dose. {{ :planning:userguide:tutorials:structure_target_constraint.png?600 |}}
-For all other structure types the user will only have the ability to set the maximum dose to be achieved along with the maximum mean dose. {{ :planning:userguide:tutorials:structure_other_constraint.png?600 |}}
-Similarly when setting the Objectives the user can set objectives to both minimize and maximize the doses on Targets. {{ :planning:userguide:tutorials:structure_target_objectives.png?600 |}}
-However on Non-Targets the user can only set objectives that will drive the dose down to these structures. {{ :planning:userguide:tutorials:structure_non_target_objectives.png?600 |}}
