View and Edit Structure Details

To view the structure component details in a side panel, select a component row on the structure tab of the item.

The header of the side panel shows the name of the selected component. You can move from one component row to another, and use the side panel to navigate easily between the component details.

You can enter the following component details from the side panel: reference designator, additional information, attachments, AML, additional attributes, and substitute components.

Note:

• You can edit a component from the item structure page, if it's not assigned to any change order.

• You can edit reference designators using the side panel, if your administrator has set the Reference Designator Range Indicator to None. Otherwise you can edit them directly in the structure table.

• If you have added a component to a common structure associated with one or more organizations, and one of those organizations became inactive, the assignment to the inactive organization is skipped, and this information is recorded in the log file.

Icons on Component Rows

The pencil icon in a column indicates that there's additional information that you can view. You can click the icon to navigate to the corresponding tab in the side panel view.

The following icons appear only if you've opted in for the feature User Interface Improvements for Items and Changes.

• A blue dot icon in any of the following columns of a component row - attachments, AML, substitute components, pending changes, and quality - indicates the presence of content. Click the dot icon to navigate to the corresponding tab in the side panel view.
• For quality-related data, the blue dot appears if there’s at least one quality issue, quality action, problem report, or corrective action in any workflow status against any item revision. If no issues or actions appear against the item you've chosen, select other revisions and see which ones have issues or actions logged against them. With problem reports and actions, you can see them across all revisions of the item.
• In the redline view of the affected item’s structure, the reference designator, and substitute component icons appear in blue when there are redlines.

Note: The structure component attachments, AML, additional attributes, pending changes, and quality tabs on the side panel appear in the read-only mode on engineering change orders.

Points to Consider

• The affected item's structure tab on commercialization change order doesn't include side panel tabs for attachments, or AML. It also doesn’t have the blue dot icons for Pending Changes or Quality related data.
• Pending Changes and Quality side panel tabs aren't displayed in the Supplier Portal.

In the following image, you can see the blue dot icon in the Changes column indicating the presence of content in it. You can click the blue dot to open the Changes side tab for the selected component.
