Getting started with Multi-Structure Manager > Multi-Structure Manager interface
Multi-Structure Manager tabs
The data pane on the right side of the application window contains multiple data tabs, which display information specific to the object selected on the structure pane. The type of object selected on the structure pane determines the data tabs available at any given time.
The following sections describe the data tabs that may become available. Not all tabs are available in all circumstances and their availability depends on the type of structure. Your administrator may also customize the availability of data tabs at your site.
Standard Teamcenter shortcut menu commands are available for any object in the data tabs.
The following table lists Multi-Structure Manager tabs that are available when the data pane is displayed.
| Tab | Description |
|---|---|
| Assembly Viewer | Displays an image of the selected line or lines, if a DirectModel dataset is associated with the object. The following image types are viewable in this tab: DirectModel = imported JT files or JT files created by the translators. These files must have a Teamcenter rendering relation. DirectModelMarkup = captured image of a DirectModel dataset. DrawingSheets and Markup = imported CGM files. Image = imported TIF, GIF, JPEG and similar file types. |
| 2D Viewer | Displays one or many snapshots associated with a line in your product structure. If there are multiple image datasets attached, you can select the desired image. You can use the 2D Viewer pane to: Create new 2D snapshots. Update existing 2D snapshots. Apply an existing 2D snapshot to the current view. Compare an existing 2D snapshot to the current image. Search for existing 2D snapshots by specified attributes. For more information about using 2D snapshots, see 2D snapshot overview. |
| Referencers | Identifies which, if any, other database components reference the object currently selected on the structure tab. This tab also displays any assemblies where the selected object appears. For more information, see Teamcenter Basics. |
| Attachments | Displays the properties of all related components (including the base item component and all related subcomponents) of the object selected on the BOM in the structure pane. Double-click an attachment on this tab to open the designated application used to edit and view the attachment. Note Activity attachments must be viewed from the Operation Activities tab. |
| Class Attributes | Shows each attribute that exists in the Classification application for the object currently selected on the structure tab. It is not enabled if you select an occurrence group or view. This data is informational only and cannot be changed on this tab. You must change the data through the Classification application. For more information, see Basic Classification on Rich Client ─ Usage. |
| Object View | Allows you to perform 2D markups on the top line selected in the BOM on the structure pane. This tab is divided into two panes: The left pane displays the markup tree table. The right pane displays an image of the object. Click the buttons at the top of the tab to manipulate the image. Click the buttons at the bottom of the tab to create markup annotations on the image. After the image is annotated, click the Printer button to print a sketch of the image and its markup. |
| Report | Supports the creation of reports for structures. It is not available if you select an occurrence group or view. The generated report is presented through a browser window. You can create customized XSL style sheets or use other formatting tools to customize both the data content and the report format. |
| Variants | Displays and edit variant options, option defaults, and rule checks currently defined for the current object. It is not available if you select an occurrence group or view. |
| Incremental Change Info | Shows the effectivity of a change order as a range of units or dates, and its release status. The Incremental Change Info tab is enabled when you select a line or occurrence group in the BOM and an incremental change order is associated with that line. |
| TraceLink | Displays defining and complying paths for a given object created when performing requirements management. You can view the predecessors or successors in an upstream or downstream path. You can also view the trace links themselves, as independent objects. |
| Allocations Traceability | Displays the allocation source and target graphically. |
| Linked Occurrence Paths | Shows whether the selected BOM line (occurrence) is linked to something else from its associated product or plant structures. The complete path is displayed in this tab so you can identify exactly what is being consumed (for example, the left front or right front wheel). You can also remove the links or identify a corresponding BOM line in the associated product/plant tab using menu commands in the shortcut menu. |
