Using the structure pane

A structure pane shows the contents of a single structure context (for example, a product or process structure) in separate panes within the structure pane.

The header bar of each pane in the structure pane contains:

• The name of the structure context component or the opened component.

• The name of the structure context component.

• The names of the rules that apply to the view. Each view may have a revision rule or a variant rule. A rule appears in parentheses if it differs from or is modified from the rule that is attached to the structure's configuration context.

The tab label of each pane has parentheses if the structure is not part of a collaboration context component.

For information about how to save these objects, see Save temporary objects as structure contexts.

Choose the Root Structures box to display a list of the end items or top line items for each root object in the structure context. If the root is an occurrence group, the top line item is listed, not the occurrence group. The top line item is listed only once, even if the structure context contains many occurrence groups (and the item itself) with the same top line.

Each tabbed pane displays the structure of the root component that you selected in the Root Structures box. The format of the display depends on the type of structure context and the root component. If the root component is an occurrence group, an assembly view is shown. If it is an item, revision, base version, or base version revision, a BOM view is shown.
