Structure Management ─ Deployment and Administration
Restrict the child object types that can be added under a parent object type
When you are importing a structure from Excel, you can restrict the child object types that can be added under a parent object type in specific conditions.
Procedure Create the TCAllowedChildTypes preference for restricting the child object types that can be added under a parent object type. This is useful when the Excel contains only the IDs mentioned for the elements. This is also useful when the Teamcenter environment is set up with the MultiFieldKey business constant to mark an object unique, multiple types of the business object contain the same ID, and the Excel contains only IDs mentioned in it for elements.
