Configuration settings

Note: This topic only applies to Hull Viewer in combination with CADMATIC Hull. These functions are not available in the stand-alone version which is also referred to as Work Preparation Manager.

In System Management > Logistics > Logistical Database Layout, the four columns Visible, Editable, ShowType and Groupable determine how Item Information is displayed in Hull Viewer.

Visible defines whether or not the field is visible in the item information dialog.

When Editable is set to Yes, the user can edit the field value in the Work Breakdown Structure or Item information dialogs (only if the part belongs to the active block).

Show Type is only applicable when information of more than one part is presented.

• When set to Summarize, the field values of the parts are added.

• When set to Minimum or Maximum, the minimum or maximum of these values are determined.

• Average causes the average to be calculated.

• Equal means that the value is presented only when the field value is the same for all selected parts, otherwise the text <Different values> is displayed.

Groupable can be used to define what values are to be presented in the Item Information dialog when logistical information of more than one part is presented. Only those fields with this property set to Yes will be visible.
