In the configuration editor, you can define the information displayed in the Details tool window.
Information Structure
You can use the Details Configuration node in the Documentation Structures view in the configuration editor to set the information to be shown in the Details tool window for each profile. This is separate for each element type.
No more than one Details Configuration root node can be created per profile.
Detail window configuration is distributed to the technical profiles and parts which are the same for the various profiles are stored in the ROOT profile. The same applies for Details building blocks.
A node exists for each element type as a structure point in the structure trees. These nodes specify which information is contained in the details window.
You can use the structure, therefore, to specify what degree of information should be included in the display. This structure is independent from the actual model data. Information from the model is first displayed when the display is refreshed, corresponding to the structure.
Modifying the Information Structure for the Details Window
Prerequisites
You need to be in the Documentation Structures view in the configuration editor if you want to edit the Details window.
Context
A Details configuration is included for each profile in the model templates within the scope of delivery; you can use this to customize your own configuration.
The Details configuration is made up of model element enumeration chapters that are assigned as content standard chapters or prepared model browser building blocks. The Details building blocks can be found in nodes below the Details configuration.
When copied documentation or details chapters are inserted into the Details configuration, then it is checked whether the copied chapter is permissible where it is to be pasted. There may be constraints due to the type of chapter or the represented element type.
How to proceed
-
Select the model element enumeration chapter in the profile tree which contains content you want to set in the Details Configuration node.
-
Select the Standard Chapter or Details Building Block entry in the Chapter drop-down list.
The current assignments are displayed in the assignment compartment.
-
Select the element type which the building blocks should be assigned to from the not-assigned elements' assignment compartment.
-
Select Edit>Assign or assign it using drag-and-drop.
The element type is now listed in the assigned elements' assignment compartment.
Tidying the Details Configuration
The Details configuration should be tidied to make it easier to view and maintain. You can search for and e.g. merge duplicate entries.
The verify option "Details configuration corresponds with 'Name' [VFY553]" always considers all existing profiles and does not concentrate on existing profile imports. It evaluates the Details configuration at all levels and components. A message appears if corresponding Details configurations exist.
You should check whether you can merge duplicate configurations into a common imported profile.
