Tracking Measurement 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 product measurement set changes based on the following events:
• When you create a measurement set
• When you check in a measurement set
• When you delete a measurement set
• When you add a measurement set to a specification
• When you remove a measurement set from a specification
• When you change the lifecycle state of a measurement set
|
|
The system does not track the original lifecycle state of the measurement set. The standard change tracking information only notes the new lifecycle state.

Change Event Details
The system tracks when you add, remove, or delete POM rows from the measurement set; these events appear as change event details when viewing the tracked changes table for the related change event. The system also tracks both measurement set header attributes and POM row attributes.
The system tracks change event details, including designated attributes, for the following measurement set change events:
• Check in
• Delete (individual POM rows only)
In addition to those attributes your administrator has designated for tracking, the system tracks the following measurement set attributes and information:
• Measurement set size values
• Measurement set base size
• Measurement set grade rules
• POM attribute used to indicate if the POM has been deleted
Changed measurement set header attributes appear in the Measurement Set Header Changes table when you expand the related change event on the Tracked Changes tab; the table lists the name of the attribute that has been changed, as well as the original and updated attribute values. This table is sorted alphanumerically based on the name of the changed attribute.
Changed POM rows and row attributes appear in the Measurement Set Table Changes table, which lists the POM name and number, 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 POM is deleted, the system displays only the POM name and number with strikethrough. Additional columns in the table are left blank for this row.
