Create a View

You can create a view starting with a small set of attributes for the object. For example, in the create process for the item object, the Item number and Item Description attributes are automatically added to the Create View page.

To create a view:

  1. Launch the Configure Views task from the Tasks panel tab in the Product Information Management or Product Development work area.
    The View Management page is displayed.
  2. Click the object card for which you need the view. For example, click the Items card.
    The Views page is displayed.
  3. Click Create.
  4. Specify the following:
    • View: Enter a name for the view.
    • Description: Provide a brief description about the view.
    • Code: This is automatically generated.
    • Application: Select the application where this view can be used.
    • Task Flow: Select the task flow corresponding to the application.
    • Default: This check box is selected by default indicating the view will be used when you launch the search from the Product Information Management work area.
  5. Add additional attributes to the view if required.
    Note: You can add the attributes to the view only if the attributes are in the index.
    To add additional attributes to the view:
    1. From the Attributes drop-down list, select the attribute you want to add.

      You can enter characters corresponding to the attribute name, attribute group, or an object. The suggested results are displayed based on the characters that are entered. For example, these are common searches:

      • Enter one or more characters for the attribute name. For example, enter Li to find Life Cycle Phase.
      • Enter one or more characters for the attribute group name. For example, enter Manufacturer items to find attributes that are part of this group.
      • Enter one or more characters for the object name. For example, enter Item Category to find the attributes for the item category assignment group.

      The selected attribute along with the additional column values are displayed.

    2. You can also add the data presence indicator attributes if required.
    3. Specify the following for the attribute for views used in search pages:
      • Display Columns: Move the slider if you want the attribute to be displayed as a column in the search results on the Product Management Search page.
      • Keyword Search: Move the slider if you want the attribute to be enabled for keyword search on the Product Management Search page.
        Note: This isn’t applicable for data presence indicator attributes.
      • Filter Chip: Move the slider if you want the attribute to be displayed as filter chip beneath the Search box on the Product Management Search page.
      • Filter Chip Type: Select the type of filter chip.
    4. For views used in other pages:
      • Display Columns: Move the slider if you want the attribute to be displayed as a column in the search results on the Product Management Search page.
      • Keyword Search: Move the slider if you want the attribute to be enabled for keyword search on the Product Management Search page.
        Note: This isn’t applicable for data presence indicator attributes.
    5. Click the check mark icon in the Action column to add the row to the table. The row will be added as the first row in the table.
