Editing an Accountability Map
You can modify the part selection in an accountability map to add or remove parts. Additionally, you can update the description of an accountability map. Use the Edit Accountability Map action to carry out these modifications.
To edit an accountability map in MAPSB, perform the following steps:
1. Open an accountability map in MAPSB
2. Click > Disable Path Filter to view the complete tree structure in upstream and downstream views.
3. Select the parts you want to add to the accountability map from upstream and downstream view.
* 
The parts that are highlighted when Highlight Selected Rows and Quick Search actions are used, those parts are added automatically to the tables in the Create Accountability Map dialog box.
4. From the middle toolbar, click > Edit Accountability Map. The Edit Accountability Map dialog box opens. The icon is highlighted when you open an accountability map in MASPB.
5. In the Set Attributes step, optionally provide or update the description details, as needed in Description.
* 
If you have defined any custom attributes, those are also displayed in the Edit Accountability Map dialog box. Optionally, provide details for the custom attributes.
6. Perform any of the following to proceed:
◦ Click Finish to complete modifying the Accountability Map. MAPSB is refreshed and the updated accountability map is displayed.
◦ To add parts or modify the part selection in the accountability map, click Next.
1. In the Content step, the Upstream Selected Paths and Downstream Selected Paths tables list the current selection of parts in the accountability map. To add parts to the Upstream Selected Paths or Downstream Selected Paths tables, copy parts from upstream and downstream views in MAPSB using the > Copy action. The newly added parts are highlighted in the Upstream Selected Paths and Downstream Selected Paths tables.
2. In the Upstream Selected Paths or Downstream Selected Paths tables, click Paste Paths to paste the parts under respective tables.
You can also change the value of Quantity. The value of quantity must be a positive integer and less than excess usage quantity.
At any point in time, you can add or copy only one instance of a part and its associated quantity to the Upstream Selected Paths and Downstream Selected Paths tables. If you try to copy a part that already exists in Upstream Selected Paths and Downstream Selected Paths tables, the action is disregarded. The value of quantity for those parts remains unchanged in the tables.
Consider the following example:
Part A, from upstream view, with quantity 10 is added to the accountability map. In the Upstream Selected Paths table, you changed the quantity to 7. Windchill ignores if you try to paste Part A, and the Quantity value, that is, 7 is retained. Remove the part from the Upstream Selected Paths table, and paste it again if you want the quantity to be 10.
Use Remove Paths, available in the Upstream Selected Paths and Downstream Selected Paths tables to remove parts. In addition to the existing default columns, you can also add Line Number and Status Change columns to Upstream Selected Paths and Downstream Selected Paths tables. The two columns are read-only.
3. Click Finish.
The following points apply when using the Edit Accountability Map action:
• The Edit Accountability Map action is available only if you open an accountability map in MAPSB. It is not available when you open a part structure in MAPSB.
• You can add only parts in the Upstream Selected Paths and Downstream Selected Paths tables of Edit Accountability Map dialog box.
• The accountability map stores root part information and individual path information for parts in upstream and downstream views.
• Windchill stores the configuration settings that were applied when editing an accountability map. For example, plant filter, attribute filter, set options and choices applied when creating an accountability map. When you open the accountability map in MASPB, all these settings are retained.
• The parts which do not satisfy the filter criteria that were applied during the editing of the accountability map, are ignored and removed from the Contents tab.
• When the quantity of a part in accountability map is modified or updated in the Content page, and that part is filtered out in Upstream Selected Paths and Downstream Selected Paths tables, the updated value of quantity is disregarded in the accountability map.
