Working with collaboration contexts

Save temporary objects as structure contexts

Procedure

  1. Right-click the tab containing the temporary object.

  2. Choose Save as a Structure Context. Teamcenter displays the New SC dialog box.

  3. Type a name for the structure context in the Name box.

  4. Choose the appropriate structure context type from the list of symbols at the left. Your administrator determines which structure context types are listed in this dialog box. New business objects (types) are created in Business Modeler IDE.

  5. (Optional) Type a description of the structure context in the Description box.

  6. (Optional) Set the configuration to a previously stored configuration context by clicking and searching for the configuration context.

  7. Click OK. The new structure context appears as a line in the BOM under the current collaboration context and can be identified by a symbol. If you did not select a configuration context in the previous step, Teamcenter creates a structure context with the system's default configuration which is generally:

The default revision rule, typically Latest Working.

No variant rule.

  1. (Optional) Add the new structure context to the existing collaboration context by using cut and paste or drag and drop in the collaboration pane.
