Tracking Construction Set Changes
This topic describes the change events and change event details that the system tracks out-of-the-box. Because the change tracking functionality is highly configurable, the out-of-the-box options might differ from those in your system.
Change Events
The system automatically tracks construction set changes based on the following events:
• When you create a construction set
• When you check in a construction set
• When you delete a construction set
• When you add a construction set to a specification
• When you remove a construction set from a specification
• When you change the lifecycle state of a construction set
|
|
The system does not track the original lifecycle state of the construction set. The standard change tracking information only notes the new lifecycle state.

Change Event Details
The system tracks when you add, remove, or delete detail rows from the construction set. These events appear as change event details when viewing the tracked changes table for the related change event. The system also tracks both construction header attributes and detail row attributes.
The system tracks change event details, including designated attributes, for the following construction set change events:
• Check in
• Delete (construction detail rows only)
In addition to those attributes your administrator has designated for tracking, the system tracks the construction detail attribute that is used to indicate if the detail row has been deleted.
Changed construction set header attributes appear in the Construction Header Changes table when you expand the related change event on the Tracked Changes tab; the table lists the attributes that have been changed, as well as the original and updated attribute values. This table is sorted alphanumerically based on the name of the changed attribute.
Change detail rows and row attributes appear in the Construction Table Changes table, which lists the detail number and part name, as well as the name of the changed attribute and its original and updated values. This table is sorted by the sorting number attribute, which is maintained by PTC FlexPLM. if a construction detail is deleted, the system displays on the detail number and part name with strikethrough. Additional columns in the table are left blank for this row.
