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

1. Search for and open the structure (only non-indexed structures) to be configured.
2. 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.
