Transferring Ownership of Objects

When search results are displayed in a Search Results window, they are grouped by 50 results per page. If there are more than 50 results, a navigation bar appears at the bottom of the dialog box that enables you to search the entire set of search results.

  1. To transfer ownership of an object, in the Compass, click North: People , select a part and click Transfer Ownership of the reference ownership line.

    The Transfer Ownership dialog box appears.

  2. Enter strings in the search fields Identifier, Last Name and First Name.

    Note: To erase all entries, click Erase

  3. Click Search .

    A Search dialog box appears and displays the objects matching your criteria.

  4. Select the person to whom you want to transfer objects and click OK.

    The fields are filled with the information corresponding to the selected person. Note: More than one project and organization couplet could be associated to the person to whom you want to transfer ownership.

    Tip: You can modify the values in Project and Organization to filter the results of the query.

  5. In the Propagation Option section, select whether you want to transfer the instance, the reference or both.

    Important:
    • When transferring reference objects, only the reference option will be selected and the Instance/Reference boxes will not be active.
    • When you search for products from the Bar or from Advanced Search, references are retrieved (they are not in context of an assembly), so from the Search Results window you will only be able to transfer the reference.
    • When transferring parts, selecting the reference option results in associated constraints and publications also being transferred.
    • If the product and aggregated representation are multi-selected for transfer ownership, only references of selected objects will be available for transfer ownership.
    • An instance of a shared representation will not be displayed in the Transfer Ownership dialog box even if the Instance Propagation Option has been selected.

  6. Click OK.

    Ownership is updated in the database. A message appears listing the objects that were transferred.
