Define attributes for a 2D snapshot

You can define attributes that Teamcenter uses to search the 2D snapshots in the Attributes dialog box.

The checkin and checkout for the snapshot attributes are independent from the checkin and checkout for the snapshot itself. You do not need to check out the snapshot to edit its attributes. Even if you have the snapshot checked out, you still need to check out the attributes form to edit it.

Procedure

1. In the 2D Snapshot Gallery dialog box, right-click the desired snapshot and select Snapshot Attributes.

2. In the Attributes dialog box, click Check-Out and Edit.

3. In the CheckOut dialog box, click Yes.

4. Enter values into the boxes. By default, revision ID and page number of the base image are already provided. Your administrator can configure which attributes are available by creating a custom form and setting the VisSnapshot2DFormName Business Modeler IDE constant.

5. Click Save.Teamcenter saves these attributes with the 2D snapshot.

6. Click Check-In to check in the changes or Cancel Check Out to discard the changes.

7. (Optional) To have Teamcenter display the Attributes dialog box each time you create a 2D snapshot, choose Options→Show Attributes Form on Add.
