Perform impact analysis with configured parents

You can perform an impact analysis that will find parents and children that match defined search criteria, for example, both are released. Consider the results of a where configured search of the structure shown below. When you make a where configured search on an unreleased child (for example, 00023/B;1-child) with a TCM Released Only revision rule, both the top assembly and the child are returned as shown below. The system automatically switches to a matching child part, if the current selection does not match, before performing the search. Only one latest configured revision of a parent is returned, namely the one that matches the selected revision rule. Likewise, if you make a where configured search on an released child (for example, 00023/A;1-child) with a TCM Released Only revision rule, the configured parent assembly and the child are returned as shown below. Only one latest configured revision of a parent is returned and it matches the selected revision rule. (If you do not select the Configure Parent check box, all parent assemblies are shown regardless of whether they are configured by the revision rule.) If you make a where configured search on an unreleased item (for example, 00023-child) with a TCM Released Only revision rule, both the assembly and the child are returned as shown below. The system automatically switches to a matching released child part, if the current selection does not match, before performing the search. Only one latest configured revision of a parent is returned, namely the one that matches the selected revision rule.

Note The Filter By check box and related options are disabled if you select the Configured Parent and Child check box.
