Create Design Object Tree View
Explanation
This activity is used to create a tree view for design objects. A design
object tree view is a configurable view of a single design object or collection
of design objects and related entities in a tree-like structure.
For example a tree view displaying the functional structure of all design
objects without parents that can have children.
If the tree view is primarily created for design objects it is possible to
configure tree settings that enable you to create views of objects according to
functional or locational structures, root object nodes or navigational models. Additionally it is possible to select a plant for filtering tree view content, set tree filters to include or exclude design objects depending on
status and define tree presentation to your preference. Once a design object tree view has been created it can be viewed by expanding
the Explore Design Objects node. Design objects
in the tree view are named using the object
ID and description of the design objects, by default.
Prerequisites
A plant for the design objects should exist.
System Effects
A design object tree view is created.

- In the Design Status Filter and Operational
Status Filter group of fields, select the check boxes for
