Better control of displaying Secondary, Standard Component, and Primary & Secondary Subcomponent file links on Items.

Better control of displaying Secondary, Standard Component, and Primary & Secondary Subcomponent file links on Items.

Would it be possible to have better control of what is displayed on the Item Master records Associated files. Currently you see everything, or you can uncheck "Show Non-Primary File Links" and see only the Primary linked file. This causes issues for us when you have an idw linked as a secondary file link. You can only see the ipt or iam file (Primary file).

 

With "Show  Non-Primary File Links" checked, the Primary and Secondary files often get lost in the noise caused by the Secondary Subcomponent file links. This is especially true when a component is used on hundreds of assemblies. This is particularly an issue for our Manufacturing department using the thin Client. I'm not aware of anyway to control this in the thin client environment.

 

Instead of the "Show Non-Primary file links", it would be nice to have check boxes to include the specific types of files you would like to display. (See Proposed_Better_Control.png) Also, if that could be configured as a default for all users it very helpful. 

 

Best regards,


Ron Moore
