Displaying items instead of revisions
Caution This is a non-standard configuration and requires careful planning. Work with your Siemens Digital Industries Software representative if you need this functionality. Active Workspace is designed for the user to work almost exclusively with objects of the ItemRevision type (and its children). If you have a special use case and you need to display item types, then you need to configure the following: Allow the user to create an Item. Modify the AWC_DefaultCreateTypes preference to include an item type. That item type and all subtypes will be considered creatable. Change the Fnd0ItemRevPasteOnTargetUponCreate business object constant for the new type. This will automatically paste the item type into the user's folder when it is created. Configure indexing to work with Items instead of revisions. In addition, you should also suppress the ItemRevision type from the UI. Caution Siemens Digital Industries Software does not recommend that you present both items and revisions to your users.
