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.
