Create Design Part Tree View
Explanation
This activity is used to create a tree view for design parts. A design part
tree view is a configurable view of a single design part or collection of design
parts and related entities in a tree-like structure.
For example all design parts grouped by class with the Available design part
status.
If the tree view is primarily created for design parts it is possible to
define tree settings that will configure views based on classes, a top design
part or a navigational model. Additionally it is possible to select a standard for which design parts will
be displayed, set tree filters to include or exclude design parts of a depending
on status and version, and define the tree presentation to your preference. Once a design part tree view has been created it can be viewed by expanding
the Explore Design Parts node. Design parts
in the tree view are named,
by default,
using the design part
ID and description of the
design parts
Prerequisites
