Unassigning Solution Documentation Structure Elements

On the Documentation tab, you can unassign process steps and other library elements from the Solution Documentation.

Unassign Elements from Work Package (Design Branch)

The following procedure applies to work packages up to status Scope finalized. Later, you can change the Solution Documentation scope only in status Scope extension. In this status, you can unassign only structures that have been added in this status.

Structures that have been already handed over to a work item cannot be unassigned from the work package anymore. For more information, see Unassign Element from Work Item and Move Structures Between Work Items.

To unassign a Solution Documentation structure and all related documents from a work package in the design branch, do the following:

  1. On the Documentation tab, on the Documents subtab, find the Solution Documentation structure element that you want to unassign.

  2. For the structure element that you want to unassign, select the checkbox for Step for un-assignment in the list.

  3. Choose (Unassign selected structures).

  4. The item is removed from the list.
