Configure to load

You can eliminate the loading of unconfigured variants and consequently complete loading of the structure more quickly.

Procedure Choose View→Enable Filtering Unconfigured due to Classic Variants. Teamcenter enables configure to load filtering. Send the structure to Structure Manager. If the PSEVariantsMode user preference is set to hybrid or modular, Teamcenter displays the Configure dialog box. If it is set to legacy, it displays the Variant Rule dialog box. Enter an option value for any item. Teamcenter activates the Filter unconfigured BOM lines due to Classic Variants check box. Select the Filter unconfigured BOM lines due to Classic Variants check box. When the structure is subsequently loaded, Teamcenter does not load lines that are unconfigured by the selected variant rule. The title bar of the structure tree pane is colored blue to indicate that filtering is applied.

Note You cannot disable this selection when the structure is loaded and it persists each time the structure is loaded. To change it, you must follow the previous steps and clear the Filter unconfigured BOM lines due to Classic Variants check box. The configure to load feature is available if you configure a 100% BOM, a 120% BOM, or an overlay BOM. After you apply a variant rule to a structure that is configured to load, you can no longer reconfigure the structure with a different variant rule.
