Configure incremental changes

If you plan to use incremental changes to control the manufacturing process, you must complete the following steps:

Procedure

1. By default, incremental changes are not enabled. To enable incremental changes, set the Incremental_Change_Management preference to true.

2. Configure the change types to use with incremental change with the Change Viewer application.

3. By default, all incremental changes (configured and unconfigured) are visible to the user. To hide unconfigured changes, set the ShowUnconfiguredByChangeEffectivity preference to true.

4. Define a release status that is attached to an incremental change when the user first creates it. For example, the following setting creates each incremental change with a Pending status.CopyIncremental_Change_ReleaseStatus=PendingThe status must already exist and have an Access Manager rule that allows write access to objects with this status.

5. Ensure an In IC Context rule is available in Access Manager, allowing a user write access to a released structure.
