  1. Select the root node in the PPR tree and click Organizational in the Resource Structure > Insert Resource sub-toolbar.

    Alternatively, you can right-click the root node in the PPR tree and select Insert Resource > Organizational.

    The Resource/General Resource Typing dialog appears.



  2. If needed, specify the desired attributes in the tab pages as follows:

    • Product DS to edit the attributes of the resource reference
    • General resource typing to edit the main attributes of the resource (times, costs, and so on)
    • Product Instance to edit the attributes of the resource instance (identifier, for example)
    • Configuration to specify configuration attributes (such as variability space).

  3. Click Finish to create the new resource/product reference at the designated place in the PPR tree.



  4. If needed, create other resources in the tree in the same way.

    Note: You can create other resources under certain resources in the tree (for example, a tool device and NC machine under an organizational resource). For more information, see About Resources.
