Configuring Teamcenter Easy Plan > Configuring Teamcenter Manufacturing Access
Client-side preferences
You can modify defaults for client-side preferences. However, end users can override some default preferences in Teamcenter Manufacturing Access. For example, end users can choose which columns are displayed in some dialog boxes, and the order in which those columns display.
Tip
Correctly spelling property names is critical. If you do not know how to spell a property name, open a Teamcenter Manufacturing Access dialog box that contains the property and verify the value of the related preference.
CCObject.CellProperties—Lists property name and values to display in the object cell for a collaboration context object. The format for a value of this property is
. Default_StructureContext_Type—Specifies which type of structure context is the default item type for a study. You can add multiple lines to this preference as string values in the
<item_type>:<StructureContext_type>format. Note To enable Study Manager, you must replace the existing line for an Mfg0MEStudy item type with this line:Mfg0MEStudy:Mfg0StudyStructureContext.
Valid values for this preference are: Process:MEProcessContext OP:MEProcessContext WorkArea:MEPlantContext Item:MEProductContext MEGenericBOP:MEProcessContext MEProductBOP:MEProcessContext Mes0MESTXLibrary:MEProcessContext Mfg0MEProdPrgCol:Mfg0MEProdPrgContext Mfg0MEStudy:Mfg0StudyStructureContextEP_EnableOpenInPSCommand—Allows end users to load and analyze process data into Process Simulate without creating a study object. The default value for this preference is false. Set this preference to true to enable this feature, and add EP_EnableOpenInPSCommand to the AWC_StartupPreferences in the Teamcenter rich client.
TCMA_EditStudyProcessColumnProperties—Lists columns available in the Process area of the Edit Study dialog box.
TCMA_EditStudyPlantGrid_Column—Lists the column properties overridden by the end user in the Plant area of the Edit Study dialog box.
TCMA_EditStudyPlantColumnProperties—Lists columns available in the Plant area of the Edit Study dialog box. End users can configure column display in the user interface.
TCMA_StudyElementsColumnProperties—Lists columns available in the Elements area of the Edit Study dialog box.
TCMA_StudyMgrStudyColumnProperties—Filters the list of properties shown in the Columns Configuration dialog box in Study Manager. The format for a value of this property is
TCMA_StudySavedColumnConfigurations—Saves the column configuration when an end user overrides the default Study Manager column layout. The TCMA_StudySavedColumnConfigurations preference saves and populates the column configuration each time the user launches Teamcenter Manufacturing Access. This preference saves one configuration option per user. The default value for this preference is False.
TC_Set_Current_Project—Supports default project settings for end users. The default value for this preference is: True. After you set the preference, use the BMIDE package to enable and deploy the autoAssignToProject extension and propagation rules. The extension and propagation rules ensure that when a planner creates a study or an object under a study, all created objects are automatically assigned to the selected project. See Configure your Business data model in BMIDE in the Teamcenter Help collection for more information about using the BMIDE package.
