Part Tag Filter
Part tags can be used to filter an assembly when multiple parts or assemblies have been related to a process plan. Once a part tag has been assigned you can use a filter to display only those objects which match the related assembly of your choosing. Part tags can be assigned to the following objects:
• Operations
• Documents
• Resources
• Plants
For more information see Assigning Part Tags.

A Latest configuration specification filter is used by default the first time a part structure is accessed in a browser session. Subsequent structure filters applied to part structure remain in force until they are changed or the browser session is ended.
3. In addition, you can use the drop-down lists to set further filter options, including:
◦ View
For more information on views see Working with Views and View Associations.
◦ BOM Type
For more information on BOM types see Product Structures and Bills of Materials.
◦ Alternate BOM
For more information on alternate BOMs see Alternate BOMs.
◦ Life Cycle State
For more information on life cycle states see Manufacturing Life Cycles.
4. Select Apply to top level object to apply the configuration specification to the top part node in the part instance structure.
5. Select Apply latest for unresolved dependents to apply a latest configuration specification to any part instance within the part instance structure where a version has not been selected.
6. Select Hide unresolved dependents to hide parts that are not resolved to versions by the configuration specification processing and are displayed as part masters.
