PLM Objects You Can Configure
PLM uses various objects in its processes, and you can configure or extend all of them to some extent. When you plan your configuration requirements, be aware of what's supported for each object type.
Object Types
You can configure the landing page, the Create dialog box, and the Details page of the following objects in Application Composer:
-
Idea
-
Requirements Specification and Requirements
-
Proposal
-
Quality Action
-
Quality Issue
-
Change Order
- Change Request
- Problem Report
- Corrective Action
-
Concept
Note: A Create dialog box must include all fields that are tagged as Required. This
includes Required fields that you've renamed. If not, an error message appears as you
set up the Create dialog box for a business object.

This table summarizes the specific kinds of configuration that you can perform on each

Note:
- In Oracle PLM Cloud applications, you're always in an active environment. When you plan to create user interface entities in Application Composer, you must first open a sandbox. After you do that, it's safe to open Application Composer and work without changing the production interface pages until you're completely prepared.
- All page layouts created using Application Composer must be duplicates of the standard template not a copy of another configured page layout.
- Concept structures don't support long text and formulas.
- In the Pages node for Change Orders, you can make page layouts for the Details page, but you can't modify the fields on the page layout. You can't configure the landing page or the Create dialog box.
-
You can’t create child objects for change orders. The Create Child Object button is no longer available for change order objects in Application Composer.
- You can define conditions in Application Composer to display the same page layout with different fields for different roles or users.
