Hi Everyone,
For those of you familiar with the Change process, I have a question for you. Why is it that I cannot perform a checkout (or Add to Workspace) operation on the objects that are in the Resulting Objects table within a Change Task? I have to click Info on the objects first and then check it out from the Actions menu.

It's probably just configuration of the actions ? Not too difficult to add?

Unfortunately add to workspace and check out actions do not work in the resulting data tables. This is true for 9.1, not sure about 10. I know there some talk about adding this not sure if it was for 10.1 or just future versions.

If I am creating a change notice for 2 objects that live in 2 different products, each product has different team participants, who then becomes the Reviewer? Is it possible to prevent a change notice from containing objects that live in a different product context from the product context in which the change notice was created?

If they can't read the data in the other product, then they can't add it.
Otherwise, have to detect location and revise programmatically after
submission to remove from affected or spin off a derived CN isolating said
products. I could see that two furniture components being completely
unrelated, but having a similar team member handle same approval/rejection
being an issue here. In lieu of altering the UI, the detection algorithm is
best. Altering UI might include utilizing a different data utility or form
processor to search for affected, but then this doesn't get around OOTB
searching, so best to detect and remove undesired but affected from the
object itself, optionally revising the CN and setting older rev of CN to an
appropriate state with record of cause.



Hope that helps.

I haven't tested this, but, wouldn't the CN pick up the Teaming information based on the Product it was created in, rather than from the contexts of the models/drawings?
