Part Planner interface overview

1	Structure view	Displays all the information pertaining to a structure.
2	Multiple structure views	Shows each structure that is currently open. Each view can contain a product, process, or plant. These are referred to as primary views. You can open multiple views at once, including multiple products, processes or plants.
3	View toolbar	Displays command buttons pertaining to one particular view only. Use this and the menu commands in the view menu beside these buttons to perform configuration tasks and other tasks for the current structure.
4	Secondary views	Multiple views containing detailed information about different aspects of a primary structure. In this case, you see the Part Planner Activities view listing activities pertaining to the selected operation, as well as the Activity Gantt view, not currently visible, that helps you manage time information for activities belonging to the selected operation. These are two of many views available to assist you in planning parts for manufacture.
5	Docked Attachments view	You can move views around and dock them in different positions in the user interface to arrange the work area to your liking. The Attachments view in the figure is arranged below the Part Planner Activities view as these are two common views necessary for part planning.
