Setting the Effectivity Table View
When working on Effectivity Table in a newly installed Windchill, the table is set to Default view out of the box. In an upgraded Windchill system, the table view is set to the default view that was set prior to upgrade.
A site administrator can configure the table view to display Default view in an upgraded system using the following procedure:
1. Navigate to the Effectivity tab on a part information page.
2. Select Customize from the view drop-down list available at the top of table.
3. In the Customize View List:Effectivity, edit table view created by System. The Edit View wizard opens.
4. Set name and description to Default.
5. Configure the column set as given below:
◦ Effectivity Type
◦ Information Icon
◦ Effectivity Context
◦ Effectivity Qualifier
◦ Effectivity Range
◦ Authorization
If you set effectivity through a change notice, the Authorization column displays the change notice identification number and the resolution date of the change notice. If you create a new effectivity or update an existing effectivity, this column displays the creator or modifier of the effectivity. The information is available in the Authorization column of the Effectivity and Effectivity History table.
6. Set the sorting order for Effectivity Type to ascending mode.
