2. Data panes — Allow you to view data about the selected line. To display a different data pane, click its tab.
3. Search area — Allows you to search for a structure and configure it with commonly used data.

Structure Manager uses the Teamcenter rich client interface. This allows you to open a Structure Manager view in My Teamcenter. One limitation of opening a view in My Teamcenter in this way is encountered when you open more than one structure and Teamcenter opens the root items in the Open Item pane. Opening an item in this panel does not change the structure displayed in the view but instead opens the item in My Teamcenter.
