Track changes to an attachment

To track changes (edits) made to an attachment, select the attachment (dataset or form) and choose Tools→Incremental Change→Edit Attachment.

Teamcenter also tracks edits if you double-click the dataset or form. With a dataset, the change is tracked when you open the form to edit; with a form, the change is tracked only when you click OK or Apply. Teamcenter tracks the changes by creating a copy of the dataset or form.

The Attachments pane displays the appropriate version of the attachment according to the configured incremental change against which the edits were tracked.

Note

You can view the original, unchanged attachment in My Teamcenter.

If you open an attachment, check it out, and then close it, the checkout lock is not retained. The checkout is retained only if you save the attachment at least once before closing it.
