Structure Management on Active Workspace ─ Usage
Viewing and updating a revision rule
You can view and update revision rule clauses using Date, End item, Latest, Override, Precise, Status, Unit Number, and Working and then configure product structures.
You can configure a structure with a revision rule. You can also view or update revision rule clauses in the context of a structure.
The following revision rule clauses are supported for viewing and updating in Active Workspace:
| Revision | Description |
|---|---|
| Date | Loads item revision with a specific date. |
| End item | Configures a structure by effectivity with respect to a product, system, or module. For example, you can configure the structure of unit number 110 in product X400, where X400 is the end item. |
| Latest | Loads item revisions regardless of whether they are released or not. |
| Override | Overrides all item revisions available in an override folder. The revision rule is not evaluated for these item revisions. |
| Precise | Loads item revisions in a precise product structure. |
| Status | Loads item revisions that are released with a specific status. |
| Unit Number | Loads item revisions with a unit number as specified by the user. It is used in combination with the status rule entry with unit number effectivity. Typically, a unit number is a property of the end product or a major module of a product. As Teamcenter may manage many units, you typically qualify a unit number entry with an end item entry. |
| Working | Loads the working item revision that does not have a release status. |
The Branch clause is not supported in Active Workspace, while the Nested Effectivity clause is read only.
Updating a revision rule
You can view and modify the revision rule clauses. When you modify the clauses of an existing revision rule, a new, temporary instance of that rule is created. This modified instance of the revision rule is session-specific and accessible only to the user who modified it.
You can create multiple modified versions of a revision rule within a single user session. However, these temporary instances are not saved permanently and will be lost upon logging off. The original revision rule remains unaffected by these modifications.
If the original revision rule includes a nested effectivity clause, this clause will be visible and usable within the modified temporary revision rule, but it cannot be updated.
