Run a traceability report

  • This procedure is for occurrences only, not for workspace objects.

  • You do not need to select the context for an absolute occurrence object to run a traceability report on the object.

Procedure

  1. In My Teamcenter or a structure application, select the occurrence or absolute occurrence object or objects for which you want to run a report.

In My Teamcenter, select the object or objects in the Details view.

In a structure application, select the object or objects in the structure view.

  1. Click Generate a Traceability report .

The Traceability Report window appears.

Example report for objects selected in the My Teamcenter, Details view, shown above:

Example report for objects selected in the structure view, shown above:

If multiple objects are selected in the structure view or the Details view, the traceability report includes a separate root corresponding to each selected object.

Only the objects with related trace links appear in the traceability report. If no trace links are related to a selected object, that object does not appear in the report.

The report shows the defining and complying objects for any trace links related to the selected objects.

The report shows the defining and complying objects for any trace links related to the parent, or revisions of, the selected objects.

Columns showing the context for trace links on absolute occurrence objects are also included on the report.

Results

Note

  • The direct trace link symbol indicates that the trace link relates to the selected object itself.

  • The indirect trace link symbol indicates that the trace link relates to a revision or item that is associated with the selected object.

  • The symbols for direct trace link on an absolute occurrence and indirect trace link on an absolute occurrence indicate the trace link was created on the object, in-context.
