File Hierarchy Management
The PLM documents representing Microsoft Office files are linked to one another in a way
that reflects the dependencies between the actual files.
The PLM hierarchical representation of those dependencies reflects the links inserted in the Microsoft Office files. Changes made in Microsoft Office files are reflected in PLM as follows:
- When a link is inserted into a Microsoft Office, the change is reflected in PLM only after the file is saved to PLM. After this operation, you can view the file and the related document and PLM file in PLM.
- When a link is deleted from a Microsoft Office file after the file is saved to PLM, the link between the PLM documents are also removed, but the linked document and related file are not deleted from PLM.
