Data Management Capabilities > Managing Change > Change Management Tables > Affected Objects, Review Objects, Affected End Items, and Resulting Objects > Affected Objects Table for Variances

The Affected Objects table displays the objects that are affected by the variance.

Changing the Table View

You can limit the objects displayed in the Affected Objects table by selecting a view from the drop-down list immediately to the right of the table title. Views such as Parts, Documents, CAD Documents, or Dynamic Documents may appear, allowing you to constrain your view to only those objects. You can create a specific view for Requirement External Resource type, Architecture External Resource type, and their subtypes. For more information on the subtypes, see the topic System Compatibility and Requirements.

Actions

From the Affected Objects table toolbar, you may have the following actions:

The Affected Objects table has certain limitations for remote object data. For more information, see the Known Limitations of Tables Displaying Remote Object Data section in the Troubleshooting Digital Product Traceability topic.

These actions are also available from the toolbar actions menu. In addition, the Add from Structural Annotations, Set Effectivity and View Effectivity actions may be available from the toolbar actions menu. These actions are valid for local objects. The action Add from Structural Annotations allows you to add revised parts to the Affected Objects table. The Set Effectivity action allows you to provide descriptive information on a date, lot, or serial number. The View Effectivity action allows you to view the effectivity information of the affected objects. The Export List to File lets you to export local and remote objects to different file formats.

The ability to set effectivity on an affected object of a variance is controlled by a preference (Variance Effectivity). The default is No.

The row-level Edit Annotations action allows you to add annotations to a local object.

The Affected Objects table makes use of autosuggest for adding objects to the table. For more information, see Quick Entry Using Autosuggest.
