Component Views

Top  Previous  Next

Component Views can be created to show more specific categories and fields for parts than the default views. All tables that can be used to derived new views are shown in the Table Name column under Admin > Configuration > Component Views, but tables are only shown in this section. Component Views are seen by the CIP users and CIS users. Views can be renamed or removed. Any changes to a component view will likely require an update to the CIS .DBC file used by Capture CIS. Review the Appendix for instructions to create or update the CIP/CIS .DBC file.
