Create a configuration item for the rich client

Learn how to designate an item as a configuration item within the Teamcenter rich client. You can either identify an item as a configuration item during its creation or convert an existing item to a configuration item. You do not create a configuration item separately, but you can identify an item as a configuration item when you create it. To do this, ensure the Configuration Item check box is selected in the New Item wizard before you click Finish. The Configuration Item check box appears in the New Item wizard only if it is enabled using the Business Modeler IDE. Alternatively, you can convert an existing item to a configuration by changing the value of its Configuration Item? property from False to True. You can edit the item properties by right-clicking the item and choosing Edit Properties and clicking the All link.

Note The Teamcenter administrator can perform the following steps to add the Configuration Item check box to the New Item wizard. In the Business Modeler IDE, open the item business object type. Click the Operation Descriptor tab and select the CreateInput tab. Select the is_configuration_item property. On the Property Constants tab, select the Visible property constant.
