Edit work instructions

When you select an operation or a process in the process structure, Teamcenter displays the preview file associated with the selected operation or process. If no preview file is defined, the Textual Work Instructions view displays the following message:

Copy

No preview file is available

Click Edit .

When entering edit mode, Teamcenter checks out the operation or process, updates property controls (see Manufacturing Process Planner — Deployment and Administration), and enables editing. You can now begin editing the work instructions document.

Tip

If you edit multiple work instruction documents and want to decrease the time it takes to open each individually for edit, check out all the owning processes or operations manually before clicking Edit .

When editing work instructions, you can add and remove content of standard text, text, and data collection definitions. Teamcenter applies all the changes after you click Save .

Note

• Typically, you can use standard text for many of the steps of your work instructions document. Supplement these with text and data collection definitions to create a complete work instructions document.

• If the administrator adds operation or process properties to the template, these are visible in the document header. You cannot edit them.
