Configure Electronic Work Instructions
Improve Electronic Work Instructions performance
To improve the performance of Electronic Work Instructions during deployment:
Remove unused panels and tabs. If no activities are added to a node but the string activities exists in the EWI_SinglePanelLayout, EWI_TwoPanelLayout, or EWI_ThreePanelLayout preference, Activities will not be displayed in Electronic Work Instructions, but the client must ping the server to ensure this is so.
For each view, analyze entries and remove those properties which are not required. For example, to exclude the topline reference document, remove the property ewi0topLine_documentItems from the preference EWI_ReferenceDocumentRelationsInfo.
