Opening additional objects in the session

You can send additional objects to a Multi-Structure Manager session that do not appear in the current collaboration context. This is useful in cases where you only want to perform a temporary analysis, such as an accountability check between two BOMs or IDCs, instead of storing a new object in the database. These temporary objects appear in their own tabs with their names in parentheses to signify that they are not a part of the current collaboration context. If you have not yet opened a collaboration context, all tabs titles appear in parentheses.

The types of objects that you can send as temporary structures to Multi-Structure Manager are:

• Structure context objects

• IDC objects

• Items

• Item revisions

• BOM lines

• BVRs

Note

You do not have to create structure contexts for these before sending them to Multi-Structure Manager.
