Managing rules

You can manage cloning and variant rules associated with a collaboration context. You can cut and paste rules to the configuration associated with a configuration context or structure context in the collaboration pane. You can also modify the revision and variant rules associated with a structure context with the Tools→Save Configuration menu command as follows:

• To modify the rules associated with the BOM view, use the revision rule and variant rule buttons and menu commands. You can save the modified configuration as the structure context's configuration by choosing Tools→Save Configuration. Caution Modifying a revision rule or variant rule affects your view, but does not affect the structure configuration in the database until you explicitly save the changes.

• You can set the BOM view's rules to the same rules as any other configuration in the database by clicking Set View Configuration, then browsing to the required configuration. You can then save these rules to the structure context's configuration by choosing Tools→Save Configuration.

• You can modify the rules, then choose Tools→Save Configuration to create a new configuration. You can modify the structure's configuration by clicking the Paste to Structure button on the Save dialog box.
