Adding objects to a structure context

You can add objects to the current structure context as development progresses.

If the structure context is defined as a composition, the structure context can show references to occurrences and occurrence groups that composition structures such as processes and operations may include.

You can add the following objects:

• Root objects You can add occurrence groups, items, and item revisions to the current structure context, including:

Product items

Product and factory views

Processes

Classified resources

To create and add a new root object, choose the appropriate menu command, File→New→Item or File→New→Occurrence Group. To add an existing root object, copy and paste it into the structure context in the Multi-Structure Manager collaboration pane.

• Objects in the structure You can add objects to the structure context by creating new objects or by making copies of existing objects using the copy and paste menu commands. The copy is related to the currently selected line in the BOM.

• Attachments If the attachments pane is visible, you can attach folders, forms, BOM view revisions, URLs, envelopes, and datasets to a BOM line or its related components. To insert an attachment, choose the appropriate File→New menu command, for example, File→New→Folder, then browse to the location of the attachment file.

Note

You can check out the objects to prevent other users modifying them while you are adding them to the structure context.
