Set the scope

In edit mode, you can change the editing focus from the current document to another document (the new scope) without exiting edit mode.

Procedure

Click the desired element in the structure.
Click Set scope .

If there are unsaved changes in the current document, Teamcenter prompts you to save them before exiting the current document.

Results

Teamcenter closes the current document, checks out the target standard text element, and loads the target document. You can now begin editing the target document.

Note

The Set scope command does not work if any of the following conditions apply:

The target scope is inactive.
The target scope is not a standard text element.
You do not have permission to edit the target scope, as defined by the access control list.
