Customizing Product Family Matrix Editor
You can launch the Matrix Editor for the following Product Family objects:
• A single Product Family
• One or more managed variant specifications
• One or more variant baselines
The action to launch the Matrix Editor for the selected variant specifications or variant baselines, or both is available from the following areas:
• The Actions menu on the Variant Baseline information page and the Variant Specification information page
• Tables that display and allow you to select variant baselines and managed variant specifications
• The Folder Browser page
• The Advanced Search table
• The Baseline Objects table for a variant baseline
• The related Variant Specifications table for a part
If the Matrix Editor is launched with initial parts such as module variants, configurable modules, lower level parts (for example, from the folder browser), then a Path Filter is created for those parts.
