Function view

The Function view displays the function models. A function object represents a purpose or function of the system or product. You create functional models by creating a set of functions that define what the product or system performs or delivers.

The Function view is displayed when you create a functional model or open an existing functional model.

A tab is created for the functional models that you create or open. You click the tab to display the functional model.

1. Table display controls — The number box allows you to select the number of rows per BOM line. The default setting is one row per object. Additional rows are added per function to view multiple lines of text in the table. The column configuration box allows you to select a saved column configuration from the list. Column configurations change the BOM tree table according to the defined columns in the saved configuration.
2. Function view toolbar — Displays buttons to support configuration of the functional model.
3. Structure pane — Displays the BOM lines for the functional model.
