Library Modeler Description & Customization |
Technical Article |
This article presents the Library modeler, and explains how to customize it. |
This section first presents the objects representing the Library modeler. Then it describes how this object model view has been translated towards PLM objects based on PLM Core Modeler objects. You will see the description of each PLM package defining these PLM objects.
The library model is as follows:
The library model is implemented with PLM Core Object as follows:
The following array shows the links between the conceptual and PLM Core models
Model Object | PLM Modeler Type | PLM Core Type | Modeler PLM Package |
---|---|---|---|
Library | ENOCLG_LibraryReference | PLMCoreReference | Catalog Reference Modeler |
Class | ENOCLG_ClassReference | PLMCoreReference | Chapter Reference Modeler |
ENOCLG_ClassInstance | PLMCoreInstance | Chapter Reference Modeler | |
Item | ENOCLG_Item | PLMConnection | Chapter Reference Modeler |
The following array shows the links between the conceptual and PLM Core models of non customizable class
Model Object | PLM Modeler Type | PLM Core Type | Modeler PLM Package |
---|---|---|---|
Keyword | ENOCLG_KeywordValueRepresentation | PLMCoreRepReference | Chapter Reference Modeler |
ENOCLG_KeywordValueRepInstance | PLMCoreRepInstance | Chapter Reference Modeler |
Customization first deals with the modeler PLM package customization [2]. It consists in to create a new package containing new PLM classes for each "Customizable" PLM class of the modeler PLM package. Then, you should take into account the UI masks creation to create either a new security mask file, or to update the default one [3].
The Catalog Reference Modeler and Chapter Reference Modeler packages are described customizable since at least one of their PLM classes is "customizable". Nevertheless, you don't have to customize it. In your application only use the provided customization : Catalog Reference DS Modeler and Chapter Reference DS Modeler respectively.
When a PLM attribute is defined (inside modeler PLM package) some features like its editability criteria, mandatory /optonal option, can be overwriten by UI mask. You can say this PLM attribute is not writable in Query context, this PLM attribute is mandatory in Create context, this user PLM attribute is not never visible and so one. A set of UI masks form a security mask file. We say security mask because it is associated with these files security information. For a people, and a given context can be associated a security mask.
If you want create a new security mask file, you should provide a UI mask for all the "AsIs" modeler PLM packages and for each customization of the "Customizable" modeler PLM package.
No specific rule to customize UI mask file.
