4.12.2.1.6.  Columns to be displayed - plinkgroups.cfg -> Block [Role_name] -> Key "VARSUSED / VARSHIDDEN"

[Note] Note

This setting is role dependent. So you can configure the column display differently for each role.

The setting concerns PARTdataManager.

Columns to be displayed

Setting in configuration file $CADENAS_SETUP/plinkgroups.cfg:

Block [<variable name>], key VARSUSED

Enter all columns to be displayed as value in the form of a comma separated list.

Example:

[Role_name]
VARSUSED=ERP_PDM_NUMBER,MAT_NAME,ACTIVE_STATE,REQUESTED_STATE,PRICE4
VARSHIDDEN=REQUESTED_STATE

Setting in PARTadmin -> category Roles -> General tab -> Columns to be displayed

Enter all columns to be displayed in PARTdataManager separated by comma.

[Note] Note

The here defined sequence of the columns is exactly according to the column sequence in PARTdataManager and thus role-oriented.

Columns to hide

Enter all Columns to hide as value in the form of a comma separated list.

[Note] Note

This setting has to be used, if values from columns shall be exported or column names are used in any conditions, but the columns shall not be displayed.

Example:

Configuration file:

You have formulated the following as Export condition:

EXPORTRESTRICTION=((ERP_PDM_NUMBER.NE.'').AND.(ACTIVE_STATE.EQ.1))

But you do not want to display the "ACTIVE_STATE" column.

[Role_name]
VARSUSED=ERP_PDM_NUMBER,MAT_NAME,ACTIVE_STATE
VARSHIDDEN=ACTIVE_STATE

I.e., only parts, which have an ERP_PDM_NUMBER and furthermore which "Active status" is set on "Released" are allowed to be exported.

"ACTIVE_STATE" must be inserted under Columns to be displayed AND Columns to hide. When one would leave out the "ACTIVE_STATE" declaration the export condition wouldn't work.

Sorting sequence of column in PARTdataManager

  • Sorting sequence of ERP columns

    The sorting sequence of ERP columns in PARTdataManager is exactly according to the listing under PARTadmin -> category Roles -> General tab -> Columns to be displayed.

  • Sorting sequence of geometry columns in relation to ERP columns

    By default, ERP columns are displayed before geometry columns.

    In case that some ERP columns are to be displayed at the front and others behind geometry columns - in other words the geometric data somewhere in the middle, then please use the following syntax:

    ERP_PDM_NUMBER,MAT_NAME, ... ,DESCRIPTION

    At the position of "..." the geometry columns are displayed.

  • Sorting sequence of geometry columns among each other

    You can determine the sorting of geometry columns among each other (related to the current project). On this see Section 4.25.7.7.3, “Column sorting of geometry columns in PARTdataManager ”.

Visibility of columns in PARTlinkManager

Information on the visibility of columns in PARTlinkManager can be found under Section 4.25.4.3.2.1.4, “ Modify column display ”.
