Structure View

Accessing structure view

By default, all subscription plans use the Document grid view layout. However, Enterprise and Professional plans have two additional view options: Document list view, and structure view. Structure view is outlined below.

To access structure view:

1. Open the Documents page.

2. From the top level of the Enterprise/Company, click the Structure view icon ().

If you navigate away from the top level Enterprise/Company filter on the Documents page (for example, click on the Recently opened filter), returning to the top level does not retain the structure view. You are returned to the Document grid view.

Using Structure view

When you access structure view, Folders are listed at the top section of the page and As built structure view is listed below.

Folders and Projects

Folders and Projects are listed at the top of the Structure view in a horizontal grid.

This section is collapsible. Click the arrow to the left of the Folders and Projects heading to collapse/expand the section. Hold the bottom of the Folders and Projects section and drag up or down to adjust the height. This displays the amount of rows of Folders and Projects that you want visible.

To the right of each folder or project icon is a small thumbnail image and name. For folders only, the date and time when the folder content was last updated is indicated below the folder name:

Click a folder or project to open its contents:

The opened E-LAWNMOWER project displayed in Structure view.

If there are no additional folders inside the folder or project clicked, the Folders and Projects grid collapses. Click the breadcrumb link above the Folders and Projects to jump back to a previous location in the Folders and Projects hierarchy:

Compact mode

By default, the Compact toggle is on. This shows each component (part, assembly, or drawing) in the structure view table in a single row. Switching the Compact toggle off provides additional information for each component in the table, with each component along two table rows:

As built structure view

Below the Folders and Projects grid is the As built structure view section. All the latest released and revisioned parts, assemblies, and drawings for the selected project or folder are listed in this table as a tree list. Previous releases are not displayed.

Only components in the current folder are viewable. Components in folders above or below the current folder are not displayed.

If a released component is not used in an assembly, it is displayed at the top of the tree list.

If a component has a newer revision available, its revision icon is highlighted in blue:

Each row contains a thumbnail of the component, as well as the Name, Description, Part number, and Revision of the component. There may be additional columns depending on which columns are added or removed.

In a long structured list, as you scroll vertically, the top level rows remain fixed until the next heading row in the list supersedes it.

The following default columns are found in this table:

• Name

  • An icon to indicate if the component is a part, assembly, or drawing.

  • The name of the component. This is a hyperlink. Click the link to open the component in a new browser tab.

  • A revision icon indicating the latest revision (and revision name in parentheses).

  • The highlighted part number.

  If Compact view is disabled, the revision is listed on the second line under the name, along with the part number.

  The Name column cannot be hidden.

• Description - Lists the description of the component, if one exists.

• Part number - The component's associated part number.

• Revision - The latest revision of the current component; subassemblies that are not revision managed are labeled as such.

Keyboard navigation

The following outlines how keyboard navigation operates in the Structure view table:

• Use the esc key to clear the table selection.

• Interaction with the expand and drawing icons in the table also brings focus/selection to that item in the table.
