Traced To Table
The
Traced To table is available as a customizable tab on the information page of parts, options, and choices. You can view this table by selecting > > . In the
Traced To table, you can view and manage traces between
Windchill traceable objects and external resources. External resources can be requirements or architecture resources from external system OSLC servers, such as
Windchill RV&S,
IBM Rational Doors NG, and
Windchill Modeler. Traces indicate a dependency between upstream external items and downstream
Windchill traceable objects. To use traces, your
Windchill system must be integrated with the external system. For more information, see
Digital Product Traceability.
Three types of trace link are supported:
• Allocate—Links a high-level part or assembly and a high-level remote requirement domain item.
• Satisfy—Links a Windchill traceable object and a remote requirement domain item, where the Windchill object fulfills the traced item.
• Implement—Links a Windchill traceable object and a remote architecture domain item.
For more information about traces, see
Traces Tab and
Working with Traces.
