Overview of views in Resource Manager

Resource Manager allows you to view a resource structure and all the attributes associated to each line in the structure. You can open multiple resources simultaneously. Teamcenter presents Resource Manager data in views, each view providing its own specific way of managing or modifying the data. Use the views to the right of the resource view to display additional information about the open resources and their components. There are primary views and secondary views.

• A primary view contains data for which details are displayed in secondary views. Resource Manager displays two types of primary views: the Resource view and the Classification Table view.

• A secondary view shows specific types of data related to the primary resource view with which it is associated. It can, depending on your needs, change its content if you select a new resource view.

In addition to primary and secondary views, you can use the Graphics view to display any visualization data associated with the structure. The Graphics view is closely associated with the primary view from which you open it.

You can open multiple structures simultaneously. You can undock views and move them to a convenient position. You can open the same structure multiple times in different views. To assist you in tracking which views are associated, primary views and secondary views are color-coded. Primary and associated secondary views have the same framed color. In addition, Teamcenter frames the active view (the one in which you are currently working) in black.

Each view has a toolbar with buttons to execute the common tasks pertaining to that particular view. The view menu contains additional menu commands pertaining to that view. More complex tasks or tasks pertaining to several views simultaneously are found on the main application toolbar. The views have some features in common, such as the ability to change the displayed columns or filtering the results. You find these features in the view menu.
