Function

Use

Maintain display variants

You can choose the fields for each object type you want to display in the list.

  • The help on each field offers you more information on the data. You can set, for example, for documents that the person responsible and the status are displayed in the product structure.
  • You can reduce the product structure to the desired amount of information by using sort criteria and filter conditions.

You can save the display variants as user-related or for general use.

Display same objects

You can use this function to check whether an object occurs more than once in a structure.

  • Position your cursor on the object.
  • Select Same objects. If an object appears more than once the object lines are highlighted with a different color.

Maintain filter

You can display the filter overview when you want to change the active filter or choose another one.

Refresh product structure

You can change objects directly in the product structure. However, these changes are not shown in the product structure until you refresh it.

Display further object

In addition to the current product structure you can display the structure of another, further object.
Select the new initial object. The system splits the screen section and displays the structure of the second object in the second, new screen section.

Different processing functions are available for the objects listed in the product structure. An overview of the object related functions is available in Processing Objects.
