Perform a where-used search and obtain a graphical result

Procedure Choose View→Show/Hide Data Panel or click the Show/Hide Data Panel button on the toolbar to display the data pane. Click the Referencers tab. Select an item or item revision in the tree or properties table, and drag or copy and paste it to the Referencers pane. Set the following search parameters in the Referencers pane: Select Used in the Where option list, located in the upper-left of the pane. Select a rule from the Where-Used Rule list. This rule provides parameters to locate the assemblies in which the item or item revision is used. For example, if you select the Any Status; Working rule, only the latest released revision of the assembly is retrieved if one exists; if not, the latest working revision is retrieved. If you modify the current revision rule in Structure Manager, you can also select the modified rule as the basis of the search. To do this, select From Structure Manager from the Where-Used Rule list.

Note In the Referencers pane in Structure Manager, the rule defaults to the current revision rule in the Structure Manager window. Choose one of the following options in the Depth list located in the bottom-right corner of the pane: One Level to report immediate parent assemblies only All Levels to report all parent assemblies up to the top level Top Level to report the top-level assembly or product only Double-click the item or item revision in the Referencers pane to start the search. If the item or item revision is not part of an assembly that matches the selected revision rule, Teamcenter displays a message to that effect. If the item or item revision is part of a configured assembly, the structure is displayed in graphical format in the Referencers pane. The results can be used as a basis for another where-used or where-referenced search or they can be formatted and printed. You can change the item revision properties that are shown in the results by selecting the required properties from the Display list. Teamcenter remembers your selection for future sessions. You can also filter the results to show only selected item types. To do this, select the Filter by Item Type check box and select the required item type and filter level from the lists. You can also select the Include Subtypes check box to include both item revisions whose item is of the specified type and any subtype of that type. You can further refine the selection by showing the results only for the top level of the structure or for all levels below the selected top level. To rerun the where-used search with changed criteria, double-click the target node.
