  • Consistency check that you can use to check a recipe at any time during the development process

Integration in the PLM Web User Interface

Recipe Development is integrated in the PLM Web user interface (PLM Web UI). The following functions are available:

  • Work center and control center

    The central point of entry is the personalized work center and control center which provide an overview of the objects relevant to your work, such as the objects in your favorites list or in your worklist. A work center is available for recipes, specifications, and labels; from here you can call these objects and the corresponding applications.

  • Search

    The search in the PLM Web UI enables you to search for objects by certain attributes, texts, or classification characteristics. You can navigate straight to the objects from the search result.

  • Object Navigator

    The object navigator (CA-EPT-NAV) allows you to display each object with its relationships with other objects and navigate to linked objects.

  • Authorization concept (see Authorizations and Access Control Context (PLM-WUI-APP-ACC))
