Overview of attaching objects to the process plan

Each process, operation, activity, and work area can have objects associated with it. These objects can include items such as detailed work instructions, drawing sheets, and NC programs.

The following types of objects can be attached:

Object type	Purpose
Datasets	Application-specific objects used to manage data files created by other software applications. When you double-click a dataset in a BOM, the system launches the software application (tool) associated with the dataset.
Folders	Containers for objects and can reference any object type.
Forms	Objects you define that are managed by the application as a form type. The form holds any additional data you want to associate with a process, operation, or work area.
Other objects	Objects can be associated with manufacturing processes, operations, activities, and work areas by specific relationship types. These relationship types are set by your system administrator.

You can view attached objects in the Attachments view. If you attach datasets in another application (for example, My Teamcenter), you can use the Refresh Window and Refresh Current Structure menu commands to display them in the Attachments view.
