The Affected Items tab in the Vault Fusion Manage Panel currently does not provide the same functionality as the Affected Items tab in Fusion Manage.
The following capabilities are missing today:
Edit affected items and define a target State There is currently no option to edit an affected item and assign its target State. This is the most critical gap, as it can prevent the user from progressing the Change Order entirely from within Vault. To continue, the user has to open the Change Order in the browser version of Fusion Manage, set the Target State there, and then return to Vault.
Bulk Lifecycle Changes Fusion Manage provides the ability to update the Target State for multiple affected items at once. This bulk action is currently missing from the Vault panel. Adding it would significantly improve the experience for Change Orders containing many affected items.
Add related items to the Change Order The Vault panel is also missing the ability to add related items, such as the children of an affected assembly, that also need to be included in the same Change Order. This functionality would make it much easier to build the complete list of affected items without switching to Fusion Manage.
The first point is a workflow blocker, while the other two are significant quality-of-life improvements that would bring the Vault experience much closer to the existing Fusion Manage workflow.
A possible workaround for the first two points is to configure a workflow transition that automatically assigns a predefined Target State to the affected items. However, this removes flexibility from the user and is not an ideal substitute for being able to manage the Target State directly from the Affected Items tab.
The attached video shows these missing capabilities and the difference between the current Vault Fusion Manage Panel and the Affected Items experience available directly in Fusion Manage.
