Engineering BOM Management ─ Deployment and Administration
Simplify the user interface by hiding the configuration parameters that the user does not need
By default, certain configuration parameters are always displayed in the configuration header and configuration panel in Active Workspace. You can choose to hide the configuration parameters that you do not need from view.
To do this, use the AWBEnabledStructureFeatures_Item preference.
This preference is based on the type of the top-level element in a structure. By default, this preference is available for all item types. You can define a different configuration for any child type. For example, if you have a part or a design or a requirement as the top-level element in your structure, you can create the preference AWBEnabledStructureFeatures_Part or AWBEnabledStructureFeatures_Design or AWBEnabledStructureFeatures_Requirement, respectively.
From the preference, you can remove the values for the configuration parameters that you do not need. For the values that you remove, the corresponding configuration parameters are removed from the configuration header and configuration panel. In the menus on the user interface, the corresponding commands for the configuration parameters are made unavailable.
Based on your need, choose to remove a value from the relevant preference as follows:
| To hide | Remove |
|---|---|
| The unit effectivity in the configuration header and the configuration panel. | The value Awb0UnitEffectivityConfigFeature from the preference. |
| The variant in the configuration header and the configuration panel. | The value Awb0VariantFeature from the preference. |
| The expansion rule (closure rule) in the configuration header and the configuration panel. | The value Awb0ClosureRuleFeature from the preference. |
Note: To prevent the business user from authoring date effectivity, you can remove the value Awb0DateEffectivityConfigFeature from the preference. Even if you remove this value from the preference, date effectivity is always displayed in the configuration header and the configuration panel.
