Configure a structure with a closure rule for expansion

Configure a structure with a closure rule for expansion A closure rule holds subsidiary rules that define the objects of interest in a given structure. The rules determine if an object is included in a given structure based on their types, classes, and the relationship between them. Typically, a Teamcenter administrator creates and adds closure rules. For more information about closure rules, see Managing closure rules in PLM XML/TC XML Export Import Administration in the Teamcenter documentation. In Teamcenter: You can configure a non-indexed structure with a closure rule to apply an expansion or filtering logic to the structure. You cannot create or edit closure rules. You can use only static closure rules. Procedure Search for and open the structure (only non-indexed structures) to be configured. Perform one of the following actions: Select the rule from the Expansion list in the header. Use the Configure panel: Click Configure to display the Configure panel. In the Configure panel, select a rule from the Expansion list and click Configure. Results Teamcenter refreshes and displays the configured content based on the applied closure rule.
