  1. Right-click the PPR Context node and select Organizational in the Insert Resource menu.

    Alternatively, you can select the PPR Context node and click Organizational in the Insert Resource toolbar.

    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 DS 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. Right-click the root Organizational resource node in the tree and select Create a Scope.

  5. Select the root GeneralSystem node in the tree.

    A Resource-System scope is created between the Organizational resource and the GeneralSystem.



  6. 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.
