Make compound properties visible on item revisions

You can make compound properties visible on item revisions for improving data accessibility and consistency. You can do so by configuring attributes on the item master form and using compound property rules.

You can configure attributes on the item master form, and then use compound property rules so that the attributes are visible on item revisions. To achieve this, you must define and set the following global constants in the foundation template of the Business Modeler IDE:

Global constant	Description
BOMLineFormConfiguredProperties	Adds the properties from the form types in the constant to the BOM line. This configuration point was provided by the PSE_add_props_of_item_form_types preference in previous versions.
BOMLineRevConfiguredProperties	Adds the properties from the revision form type to the BOM line. This configuration point was provided by the PSE_add_props_of_rev_form_types preference in previous versions.

If either constant is set, all the form properties from the form type are added to the BOM line. By default, the foundation template sets the values of the constants to the item master and item revision master, respectively.

You can then add the attribute to display as a column. The attribute name is shown in fully qualified format, for example, if your item master attribute name is A_SPLM, the column name is shown as bl_Item_Master_A_SPLM.

You can optionally change the displayed column name.
