Matrix Editor Update Baseline Objects Window
Opens the Update Baseline Objects window, where you can update assigned revisions of module variants or parts that are associated with a variant baseline, or you can assign new baseline objects to the variant baseline. To update the variant baseline objects, use the following procedure:
For multi-lot mode:
1. Select multiple module variant or lower level part revision cells that span multiple variant baselines. Any selected configurable module or replacement part displayed in the part structure is ignored. If you select multiple revisions of the same module variant or lower level part, the highest revision is displayed as seed object. The Target Variant Baselines field displays the details of the targeted variant baselines that will get updated.
2. Define filter criteria to collect child parts of seed parts.
3. Select new revisions of the initially selected parts.
4. Collect child parts for seed objects. To selectively exclude objects to be updated as required, click the
Exclude selected objects
icon. You can also control part collection by using the
Include dependent Parts and
Include replacements preferences. For more information on these preferences, see
Product Family Management Preferences.
5. Select the Preserve Existing Revisions check box to preserve existing revisions of variant baseline objects that are already assigned to variant baselines.
6. Verify updates in the Preview Updates step. This displays the parts being added or updated based on the part collection in the previous step for each of the target variant baselines. You can update or populate variant baseline member link attribute values in this step. You can also selectively exclude objects from the available updates list. The baseline member link attributes with the required value constraint are not automatically displayed in this step. You must manually include these attributes using the Customize view functionality.
7. Click Finish to apply updates.
For single-lot mode:
1. Select multiple module variants or lower level parts in the configurable structure. Any selected configurable module or replacement part displayed in the part structure is ignored. The selected seeds are displayed in this step with the same revision that you selected while launching this window.
2. Define filter criteria to collect child parts of seed parts.
3. Select new revisions of the initially selected parts.
| You can change the revision of the seed objects. However, you cannot complete the Update Baseline Objects actions until dependent parts are re-collected. |
4. Collect child parts for seed objects if the Include dependent Parts preference is set to All, or if you have selected All from the Dependents drop-down menu in this window.
5. Collect related parts based on the setting for the
Include replacements preference. You can also collect replacements for the selected parts by clicking the
Collect replacements
icon.
6. Select the Preserve Existing Revisions check box to preserve existing revisions of variant baseline objects that are already assigned to a variant baseline.
7. Verify updates in the Preview Updates step. This displays the parts being added or updated for the part collection in the previous step. You can update or populate variant baseline member link attribute values in this step. You can also selectively exclude objects from the available updates list. The baseline member link attributes with the required value constraint are not automatically displayed in this step. You must manually include these attributes using the Customize view functionality.
8. Click Finish to apply updates.
As a result, existing variant baseline members are updated and new variant baseline members are assigned as appropriate.
