◦ Part Master: configurable_links_structure_tab_partmaster
◦ Document: configurable_links_structure_tab_doc
◦ Document Master: configurable_links_structure_tab_docmaster
2. Set the com.ptc.windchill.enterprise.part.psb.showConfigurableLinksTab property to true.

Customizing the Configurable Links Tab Name
To customize the Configurable Links tab name in PSB, set the PSB_CONFIGURABLELINKS_TAB_NAME property in the com.ptc.windchill.enterprise.part.psb.server.util.ConfigurableLinksResource resource bundle.
Controlling the Display of Configurable Links Tab in PSB
You can control the display of the Configurable Links tab in PSB by using the following mechanisms:
• Property-based
• Role-based
Property-based Display Control
To control the display of the Configurable Links tables in the Configurable Links tab, use the following properties for each of the configurable link type:
• ReferenceLink: com.ptc.windchill.enterprise.part.showReferenceLinksTable
• DescribeLink: com.ptc.windchill.enterprise.part.showDescribeLinksTable
• RevisionLink: com.ptc.windchill.enterprise.part.showRevisionLinksTable
• MasterLink: com.ptc.windchill.enterprise.part.showMasterLinksTable
Each property can have four values:
• Parent: Enables Configurable Link for Parent only.
• Child: Enables Configurable Link for Child only.
• All: Enables Configurable Links for Parent and Child.
• Off: Disables Configurable Link for all.
In the out-of-the-box system, the following filters are available:
• hideBasedOnChildDescribeProperty: For Describe Link Child side.
• hideBasedOnParentDescribeProperty: For Describe Link Parent side.
• hideBasedOnChildReferenceProperty: For Reference Link Child side.
• hideBasedOnParentReferenceProperty: For Reference Link Parent side.
• hideBasedOnChildRevisionProperty: For Revision Link Child side.
• hideBasedOnParentRevisionProperty: For Revision Link Parent side.
• hideBasedOnChildMasterProperty: For Master Link Child side.
• hideBasedOnParentMasterProperty: For Master Link Parent side.
* 
• To make the Configurable Links available in Part Structure Browser or on the Information pages of part, documents, or changes, you must first add the properties to the site.xconf file.
• Using the property will control the display the Configurable Links tab for all the users.
• To enable the property-based display control for existing custom configurable links tables, you must add appropriate filters to the corresponding action.
Role-based Display Control
To enable the role-based display control for existing custom configurable links tables, you must add appropriate uicomponent attribute to the corresponding action.
* 
Using the standard profile will control the display the Configurable Links tab for specific users.
There are following UICOMPONENTs that can be used for Configurable Link display control:
• VIEW_PSB_DESCRIBE_CONF_LINKS_TABLE for Describe Link
• VIEW_PSB_REFERENCE_CONF_LINKS_TABLE for Reference Link
• VIEW_PSB_REVISION_CONF_LINKS_TABLE for Revision Link
• VIEW_PSB_MASTER_CONF_LINKS_TABLE for Master Link
Examples of actions with UICOMPONENT and filters:
<action name="childObjectsTable_customDescribeLink" uicomponent="VIEW_PSB_DESCRIBE_CONF_LINKS_TABLE">
<command url="/netmarkets/jsp/object/configurableLinkRoleATable.jsp" />
<includeFilter name="hideForChangeTemplates"/>
<includeFilter name="hideBasedOnChildDescribeProperty"/>
<nonSupportedTypes value=="wt.vc.Mastered"/> <!-- This kind of link is not applicable for Mastered Context Objects -->
</action>
