Modifying saved variant rules

To modify a saved variant rule, you must load it as the current variant rule. If the rule is currently loaded, its name is displayed in the title bar of the Variant Rule dialog box. If it is not currently loaded, load the rule with the Update switch set. If you change any option values, the title of the Variant Rule dialog box changes to show (modified) after the rule name. To cancel any changes, click Reload to unset all the option values and reload the variant rule from the database. When you have set the options to the required values, click the Save button. Teamcenter writes the new values to the database, overwriting the previous values of the same variant rule. Alternatively, you can click Save As to store the values as a new variant rule, which then becomes the current variant rule.
