Engineering BOM Management – Usage > Find and navigate structures
Navigate a structure
Learn how to open and navigate through a structure in Teamcenter, including expanding to view child parts and using the breadcrumb trail to move to higher-level assemblies.
You can select a structure from the search results and then click Open to view the structure.
Navigate to child parts
The assemblies or subassemblies that have child parts are listed with the Show Children button. Click Show Children to navigate to child parts.
Navigate to a higher level using the breadcrumb trail Assembly nodes are visible in the breadcrumb trail. Use the breadcrumb trail to navigate to a higher level (such as parent parts) in a structure.Note The back button does not take you to the parent parts. It takes you to the previous location visited in Active Workspace. It might also not show the latest structure. You may refresh the structure to view the latest one. If you use the breadcrumb trail to navigate to a different parent, the first leaf in that structure is displayed, the breadcrumb is updated with the path to that leaf node, and the display is switched back to the hierarchical view.
