||
|
Stop Structure Expansion By Criteria
|
Allows user to stop expanding the structure by given criteria. Specify the value in the following format:
Type:< part type>
For example, Type:wt.part.WTSubPart1

||
|
Enable Structure Cache
|
Specifies whether or not to generate the cache for BOM Transformer and SAPSB sessions. The default value is No. This user level preference controls the default behavior for handling structure content to improve BOM Transformer and SAPSB performance.
• Select Yes to store the entire structure information of a session in cache. This helps to improve performance in BOM Transformer actions.
• Select No if you do not want to store the structure information of a session in cache.
|
||
|
Allows Reuse of Existing Downstream Objects
|
Specifies whether or not to reuse the existing downstream object when the New Downstream Part action is invoked. The default value is Yes. When set to No the action will not reuse existing downstream objects. When set to Yes the action will reuse existing downstream objects.
|
||
|
Consider Applied Filters For APSB Actions
|
Specifies whether or not to consider the filter criteria for review and update actions while updating the downstream structure. The default value is No.
• Select Yes to consider the filter criteria. The downstream structure is updated and refreshed to display the structure according to the filter criteria.
• Select No to ignore the filter criteria. The downstream structure is updated and refreshed to display the structure without considering the filter criteria.
Some of the review actions are:
• Select Equivalent Parts on Other Side
• Select Equivalent Occurrences on Other Side
• Select Equivalent Usages on Other Side
|
||
|
Implicit Replacement of Parts in Downstream for Replaced Part in Upstream
|
Specifies whether or not to replace a downstream part with a replaced upstream part. The default value is No.
Select Yes to replace the selected part in the downstream structure with:
• A replaced upstream part, if an equivalent downstream part does not exist for the upstream part.

|
||
|
List of Plant-Specific Views
|
Defines a list of valid plant-specific views. The listed views represent the actual plants in an organization. Specify plant objects as a comma separated list. For example: Plant1, Plant2, Plant3. The behavior of this preference depends on the values configured in the List of Applicable Views preference. The default value is null, in which case, the views specified in List of Applicable Views preference will be considered.
|

Load The Structure in Visualization Tab On Demand
|
Allow loading of part structure either automatically or on need basis in the Visualization tab of Process Plan Browser. The default value is No, the part structure is loaded automatically. When set to Yes, a manual action will be required to load the part structure. Use this option when you want to load the part structure on a need basis and prevent performance issues, especially when loading large part structures.

|
||
|

|
Select True if you want the system to display every iteration of an object that is linked to the selected object.
