View Administration
 |
Views are only available in Windchill PDMLink and Windchill ProjectLink.
|
Within Windchill, a part is assigned to a view when it is created. A part may be a view-dependent object if several versions of the part are required to address the needs of the various organizations working on it. For example, the Engineering and Manufacturing departments may want to work on different versions of a part, with each version representing a view specific to that department's needs.
The View Administration utility, available from the Site 
> page, allows the site administrator to create and modify the product structure views. The view is then available for the end user when creating a new part. Only site administrators can access the View Administration utility.
