Part Structure Information
The Structure tab within the part information page contains tools for displaying and editing part structures. The tab is divided into two sections, the actions toolbar, and the part structure panes.
Actions Toolbar
The actions toolbar appears just below the part identity and Actions menu. The actions in the toolbar are divided into sections called action sets.

More space for structure information can be made available by collapsing the toolbar. Click the collapse icon on the right side, just below the toolbar.
The following table provides an overview of the actions available in each actions set in the toolbar:

The Service action set is only available if Windchill Service Parts is installed.
The Generate icon allows you to auto-generate parts lists from an associated SBOM. The following choices are available in the drop down menu:
• Generate Parts Lists for Selected Parts – generates parts lists for selected parts in the SBOM
• Generate Parts Lists for All Parts – generates parts lists for all available parts in the SBOM
* 
The process is only available for parts that have child parts, and do not already have corresponding parts lists.
Refer to Generating Parts Lists from SBOM Parts for further information.
Reports
The Reports action provides the ability to generate the standard part structure reports contained in the drop-down menu.
The Export action provides the ability to export the part structure information to your workstation in the file formats contained in the drop-down menu.
For more information, see Reports Action Set - Parts.
Part Structure Panes
The area below the toolbar is divided into panes. Either two or three panes appear depending on the Display option you have selected under the Viewing actions set. The left-most pane displays the part structure. For more information about manipulating the part structure, see About the Part Structure Pane.
The other panes contain information, organized into tabs, about the part that is selected in the part structure pane. The following table describes the tabs and the information they contain:
Tab
