Including specific studies for export

When exporting studies in a collaboration context, you have the option to include all, none, or specific studies. Specific studies are included based on their maturity (status), which is applied through an OOTB workflow template. The designated status for study export is established based on the MEStudyMaturityStatusforBriefcaseExport preference, which has a default value of Approved. This means that all studies in a collaboration context with a status of Approved will be exported.

Note

If the value of the MEStudyMaturityStatusforBriefcaseExport preference is blank, all studies, irrespective of their status will be exported with collaboration context export.

Note

Export of specific studies based on their maturity status is available only for studies created in a collaboration context with Study Structure Context. Studies created with Composition Context will always be exported with the collaboration context.

There are two OOTB process templates that add or remove the status on studies.

• Mfg Add Study For Briefcase Export

• Mfg Remove Study From Briefcase Export

You add or remove a study status for export following the normal Teamcenter work flow process.

In the final steps of a briefcase export, you also have the option to ignore the status of a study. By default, the Ignore Study Release Status for Export option in the Session Options section of the MfgConfiguredExportDefault dialog box is selected, meaning the export will ignore any status on the study being exported. To include a specific study, whose status is defined in the MEStudyMaturityStatusforBriefcaseExport preference, you must clear the check box.
