The mapping between the plant-specific functional data type and view-specific enterprise data type is defined in the preference: Plant-specific Functional Data Types for Enterprise Data.

Specifies the types of plant-specific functional data objects that can be created for each view-specific enterprise data type. The view-specific enterprise data types are listed based on the values entered in the preference: Views with Specific Enterprise Data.

Specifies the types of plant-specific functional data objects that should be created for a part type. The part types are listed based on the values entered in the preference: Part Types for Creating Plant-specific Functional Data.

Allows the user to specify which plant-specific functional data objects related to the selected parts or enterprise data objects should be displayed in the collector window by default.

Specifies whether the equivalent links to self, existing for downstream iterations reused as is from upstream, should be updated automatically or manually by end users when there is a change in the upstream structure. Valid option is Manual or Automatic.

Allows user to stop expanding the structure by given criteria. Specify the value in the following format:

For example, Type:wt.part.WTSubPart1

Specifies whether or not to generate the cache for MAPSB and SAPSB sessions. The default value is No. This user level preference controls the default behavior for handling structure content to improve MAPSB and SAPSB performance.

Specifies whether or not to reuse the existing downstream object when the New Downstream Part action is invoked. The default value is Yes. When set to No the action will not reuse existing downstream objects. When set to Yes the action will reuse existing downstream objects.

Specifies whether or not to consider the filter criteria for review and update actions while updating the downstream structure. The default value is No.

Some of the review actions are:

Specifies whether or not to replace a downstream part with a replaced upstream part. The default value is No.

Select Yes to replace the selected part in the downstream structure with:

Select No if you do not want to replace the downstream part with the replaced upstream part.

Enables the Plant Filter tab in the Edit Filter dialog box in MAPSB and SAPSB. This tab allows plant filtering in MAPSB and SAPSB. This is a site level preference. The default value is No. If set to Yes, the Plant Filter tab is visible in MAPSB and SAPSB.

This is a site level preference. The Assign Plant action is available only if you specify a valid value for this preference in the Value field. Specify the value in the following format: ViewName1:Type1 Enterprise Data, ViewName2:Type2

Defines the list of applicable views available in MAPSB and SAPSB components. The data is entered as a list of comma separated values. For example: Design, Manufacturing, Service

This is a site level preference. The default value is Yes. If set to Yes, the occurrences with the same absolute position as some occurrence on the other side of the structure will be considered as consumed.

The structure view specified is used by the default configuration specification to expand objects in Windchill MPMLink explorers, or when viewing the structure in Windchill HTML pages. For example, to display Design or Manufacturing objects.

For Arbortext Content Manager it is recommended that you set this preference to Manufacturing.

The number of objects you have recently opened in a Windchill MPMLink explorer display at the bottom of the File menu. You can click on a object in this list to open it in an explorer without having to browse the database for it.

The separator character(s) used when displaying multiple values in a single field. The default character is a semicolon (;).

Select Metal for a Java Metal appearance.

Select CDE/Motif for a UNIX appearance.

The measurement system that you want to work with in Windchill MPMLink Explorers: SI, USCS, CGS, or MKS.

Select No if you do not want objects to be automatically checked out when they are created.

Select Yes if you want objects to be automatically checked out when they are created.

Select Always if you want the system to open a new Windchill MPMLink explorer when opening a new structure.

Select Never if you always want a new structure to replace the structure you are currently viewing in an explorer.

Select Ask if you want the system to prompt you each time, so you can select whether or not you want to open a new Windchill MPMLink explorer.

Select Yes if you want the Windchill MPMLinkwindow to open with the top assembly object of the structure selected. The tabs in the right pane will populate with the information for the selected object.

Select No if you do not want any object selected when the Product Structure Explorer opens.

In some explorer messages, you have the option to select a check box to hide future warnings or messages. If you had selected the check box, click Reset to begin displaying the warnings and messages again.

If you modified the column details in any of the tables in the explorer, click Reset to return to the default display.

Select True if you want the system to display every iteration of an object that is linked to the selected object.

Select False if you do not want the system to display every iteration of an object that is linked to the selected object. Only the iteration that matches the configuration specification is displayed.

When set to True processes downstream usages for which at least one valid occurrence link can be found to an upstream BOM.

Applies to the Manufacturing Product Structure Explorer and the Manufacturing Resource Explorer only. Sets the default filter criteria to be displayed when viewing an upstream object.
