This section describes the various object types in 4G:PLM and explains how to create and work with them. Note that 4G:PLM is highly configurable, so the attributes and subclasses (sub-types) of objects that you see in your system depend on how your administrator has chosen to configure it. Some typical examples will be shown in this section, but bear in mind that the attribute or subclass names may differ from what you see in your system. Note that most tables in the user interface contain right-click context sensitive menus with operations that you can perform in the specific context.
To create a new object in 4G:PLM, There is an entry in the “New Objects” menu for every object type that you can create in 4G:PLM. The process is basically the same for all, so the following sections illustrate object creation in a couple of example cases.
