Redwood: Review Product Genealogy

You can now review Product Genealogy using the new Redwood user experience. This redesigned page introduces a modern, intuitive layout that streamlines how you search, visualize, and navigate product relationships and trace trees.

With Redwood’s guided search and insights, you can quickly locate production histories, component usage, and traceability details across Manufacturing, Inventory, and other SCM events, all from a single view. Interactive trace trees and contextual links make it easier to identify affected lots or serials, trace upstream and downstream relationships, and take immediate action on time-sensitive investigations.

By adopting this Redwood experience, users gain faster access to critical genealogy data, reduce navigation time between related records, and can make better-informed decisions during production and quality reviews.

You can search and view the genealogy details of products on the Review Product Genealogy page.
