Configure and view structure based on view types

You can configure the structure by selecting one of the available view types, but you cannot create a new view type. A new structure is always created with your default view type. You cannot specify the view type when you create a new structure.

Procedure

1. Search for and open the required structure.Note When you open a structure with multiple view types for the first time, it opens in your default view type. To change the view type, you can select a different view type from the list. When you open the same structure again, it opens with the last saved view type in the background working context. To switch to the default view type, you can perform a reset action.
2. To configure the structure with a view type, select it from the View Type list in the header area. The View Type information is displayed only if multiple view types are defined for the user or site.

Teamcenter refreshes and displays the content based on the selected view type. 3. Edit the structure as required. Any additions to the structure (for example adding a child or a sibling part) are associated with the selected view type. However, if a new child part is added to a leaf node (a part that does not have any child parts), this new structure branch is created with the user's default view type irrespective of the selected view type.
