Change the display of the hierarchy

When you first expand the classification hierarchy, the class names include a number in brackets beside them. This number represents the number of instances contained within that class and all its subclasses.

The number of instances displayed represents all instances in the database, including both metric and nonmetric ICOs, as well as ICOs to which you do not have read access.

• If you search for only metric or only nonmetric instances, the number of matches is smaller if your database contains instances in both systems of measurement.

• Teamcenter does not check for read access to ICOs until you perform a search. For this reason, a class can display 100 instances in the hierarchy, but when you search the class, you find only 80 matches. This is because you do not have read access to the other 20 ICOs. You can specify when the ICOs are filtered for read access in the ICS_search_filter_by_read_access preference.

You can additionally or alternatively display the groups and classes.

• Right-click the root node of the classification hierarchy and choose Show Node IDs.

To turn off the display of the instance count, right-click the root node of the classification hierarchy and choose Show Instance Count.
