Specification Tree Structure
Specification Tree Structure
Video will guide you trough Product Specification tree structure.
On the left side you can observe a product specification in tree view (spec structure). Use it to view and inspect specification structure of a product or semi-finished product. In addition you can also use it to edit and view detailed product specification data. Click a material or operation included in tree structure to view details.
Selecting an individual item in tree view displays corresponding specification data on the right.
You can expand the tree at will. Clicking the "+" icon (or by double-clicking the specification) opens child levels. On the other hand, clicking the "-" icon shrinks the tree. You can also right-click and select Expand / Collapse commands from the menu.
In tree view you can view specification ID and name. Besides ID you can view alternate line and line of specification.
If a material or operation is marked as inactive in the Items register, it will be displayed red in spec structure.
Product specification components are marked with icons that visualize product, semi product, alternate, material or operation.
