Overview of creating a collaboration context

There are two methods used to create a collaboration context:

• Top down:

Create an empty collaboration context.

Create empty structure contexts within the collaboration context.

Fill up the content of the new structure context by inserting items.

• Bottom up:

Open desired objects.

Save these objects as structure contexts.

Save all structure contexts in the session to a new collaboration context or move structure contexts into an existing collaboration context.

You can create a collaboration context for each instance of a collaboration between applications within Teamcenter or between Teamcenter and an external application. For example, if your Teamcenter system connects to a Tecnomatix system, you must define a single collaboration context to allow the two systems to share data.
