Impact Analysis in Change Orders

You can launch an impact analysis from the Impact Analysis side tab on a change order or change request.

Start the impact analysis from an impacted product. Use either of the following:

• From the Impacted Product panel look into the details for a specific impacted product.

  Filter the multilevel item structure of the product, to see only that part of the item structure that is impacted by the change. Thus, it is easier to focus on the relevant part of a larger item or document structure.

• Go to the Affected Object panel, select a specific affected object, and start an impact analysis from the toolbar icon or Actions menu.

View the list of impacted products, and analyze why the product is impacted. Understand how many affected objects impact the product. Adapt the change definition to achieve the intended list of impacted products. The impact analysis opens the affected assembly and displays where the modified object exists in the impacted structure. The change order originator and reviewers may use this impact information for decisions about the proposed changes.
