About Accountability Map
The Accountability Map feature provides the ability to break a complex structure into cohesive or workable chunks from which manufacturing planning can be executed. You can collect all the subassemblies of your interest and make a list of them in an accountability map. This allows all the stakeholders involved in the planning phase of a product to collaborate on a small or focused part of a product, and ensures that not a single part in a complex structure is missed out. It allows you to work on sub-assemblies and components of a known product configuration that are relevant to a specific subsystem of a product.
Additional information about using accountability map is as follows:
• An accountability map contains selected paths of one or more structures from upstream and downstream views in MAPSB.
• You can launch PFD Editor from an accountability map.
• You can create and edit an accountability map. The Create Accountability Map and Edit Accountability Map actions are available only in usage mode.
• You can open an accountability map in MAPSB from the information page of the accountability map.
• You can search an accountability map in Windchill global search and advanced search.
• In an upgraded version of Windchill, specific configurations are required to make the accountability map items available in folder browser and search results pages. For more information, see View Accountability Map After Upgrade.
