Resource Manager views and tabs

The Resource view displays the assembly structure of the currently open resource. This is a primary view. It contains one configurable structure. You can open multiple resources in separate Resource views.
The Classification Properties view displays:

Textual attributes and values of the selected component. If the selected component is the root node of the resource structure, the attributes assigned to the assembly class are displayed in this view. Any attributes that are populated to the assembly level from individual components within the structure are displayed with italic font. The values that are input into these attributes can vary depending on the location of a propagation start point within the structure. For propagated attribute values to be available, your administrator must mark the values as Propagated when creating the assembly class in the Classification Admin application.

A class image of the selected object's class, if one is attached to the class. This image is displayed in the upper-right corner of the view in the class viewer. It is usually a schematic drawing of the objects in the selected class.

An image or other document associated with the selected instance. This image or document is displayed in the lower-right corner of the view in the instance viewer. The instance viewer displays documents attached to the classified workspace object of the selected ICO, such as BOM assemblies, monolithic JT files, Word documents, or GIF images. If the attached image is a JT file, you can manipulate the image in the instance image window using rotate, pan, zoom, and other functions.

Note For the viewer to work, you must have the Teamcenter Visualization for Rich Client software installed. If you have not installed this viewer, only image files (for example, JPG or GIF) are displayed in the top viewer window.

The information displayed in the Classification Properties view is determined by the type of object selected in the assembly structure displayed in the Resource view to which the Classification Properties view is associated.

If you select a component, all attributes of the component are shown.

If you select the root node, the attributes of the assembly are shown. For assemblies, these attributes can consist of:

Base attributes assigned to the assembly.

Propagated attributes that have been propagated to the assembly from components within the assembly. Propagated attributes are displayed in italic.

The Classification Table view presents the results of an Object ID search or multiple results from the Classification Search Dialog in tabular format. You can page through these results, or double-click a resource to open it in a Resource view.
The Attachments view displays any revisions or attachments of the resource object currently selected. This view contains the same revision and attachment information that is available in the My Teamcenter application.
The Impact Analysis view identifies any other database objects that reference the selected resource object. This view also displays any assemblies in which the selected object appears.
The Report view allows you to create reports with Report Generator.
The Work Instructions view allows you to create manufacturing documents such as work instructions or product manuals and to view and edit existing documents.

Additionally, the Classification Search Dialog contains the following tabs and panes:

The Hierarchy pane displays the classification hierarchy.
The Graphical Browser tab shows a hierarchy of the tree structure symbols and allows you to enlarge them easily with a slider. You can switch back and forth between the tree structure in the Hierarchy tab and the graphical browser.
The Search tab allows you to enter search criteria to help find a required resource.
The Properties tab allows you to enter search criteria to help find a required resource.
