Workbench - Item Structure

In PLM, a multilevel item structure is usually received from CAD when a save to PLM is performed in the CAD application. In the Item Structure Workbench (pdpdm8100m000), you can view and modify this structure. You can, for example, add components to the multilevel structure, replace parts, change quantities, exchange items, or add substitutes.

Changes are made directly in the structure. At any level for any component, you can update its details. You can activate the Details function so that the details of the item or component line become editable for the marked structure lines.

A reverse structure view with similar options and functionality is also available. A reverse structure is a multilevel 'where-used' with edit capabilities.

If activated within the screen, the thumbnails of the marked components are shown in one of the panel windows.

With the Collapse and Expand options, you can navigate through the structure.

The (reverse) structure browser is available also in documents and folders in PLM, with similar functionality.
