 +=== 2.2.2 Application Perspectives ===
 +
 +Within the user interface of the Teamcenter Rich Client, the application functionality is provided by perspectives and views. Some applications use perspectives and views to rearrange the functionality. Other applications use a single perspective and views to display information.
 +
 +== 2.2.2.1 Procedure ==
 +
 +**You can open an application perspective using the following methods:**
 +
 +  * Click the application button in the navigation pane.
 +<WRAP tip>**Tip** \\ If the navigation window is not displayed, display it using the menu command **Window** → **Navigation Window** or click the **Navigation Window** {{{:teamcenterbasics_en_016.png?nolink&}} icon on the toolbar.
 +</WRAP>
 +
 +  * Select the perspective from the **Window** menu → **Open Perspective**
 +
 +  * Select an object from the navigation view and then select an application from the **Send To** context menu option.
 +
 +  * Double-click an object in the navigation view to open the perspective associated with that object type.
 +
 +For example, to open My Teamcenter in Rich Client, click **My Teamcenter** {{:teamcenterbasics_en_017.png?nolink&}} in the Navigation pane.
 +
 +**To switch between different application perspectives, the following methods can be used:**
 +
 +  * Use the **Back button** {{:teamcenterbasics_en_019.png?nolink&}} on the toolbar or select an open application from the {{:teamcenterbasics_en_020.png?nolink&}} drop down menu or press Ctrl+Shift+F8 to display the previously open application.
 +
 +  * Use the **Forward button** {{:teamcenterbasics_en_021.png?nolink&}} on the toolbar or select an open application from the {{:teamcenterbasics_en_020.png?nolink&}} drop down menu or press Ctrl+F8 to display the previously opened application.
 +
 +  * Hold Ctrl+F8 to display the **Perspectives** menu, then release the F8 key. Select the perspective to display using the mouse button or arrow keys.
 +  
 +**To save the active perspective you have configured, you can proceed as follows:**
 +
 +  * Select **Window** → **Save Perspective As**
 +  * Enter a new name for the perspective.
 +  * Click **OK**.
 +  
 +To reset a perspective to its default state, select **Window** → **Reset Perspective**. This restores all default views of the current perspective to their original positions.

 +
 +=== 2.3.5 Change Manager ===
 +
 +Change management helps you track changes to a product throughout its entire life cycle. You can propose changes to a product and manage the entire cycle of review, approval, and implementation of the change.
 +
 +{{ :tc_train_basics_de_18.png?direct |}}
 +
 +Your company can ensure the quality of any change made to the product through a mechanism for problem identification, change authorization, coordination and planning, cost and benefit analysis and record keeping. You can structure the work to perform the following:
 +
 +  * Implement a change.
 +  * Assess its impact on any managed business elements such as parts or documents.

 +{{ :tc121_allg_grundlagen_004.png?direct |}}
 +
 +==== 2.5. Items & Revisions ====
 +
 +=== 2.5.1 Basic Items & Revisions ===
 +
 +An item (element) in Teamcenter is a structure of a connected object. The basic structure of each item consists of the following objects:
 +
 +{{ :tc121_allg_grundlagen_005.png?direct |}}
 +
 +|@#F2F2F2:**Item** |@#F2F2F2:Gathers data that is generally applicable to all revisions of the item. |
 +|@#F2F2F2:**Item Revision** |@#F2F2F2:Collects data applicable to a single revision of an item. |
 +|@#F2F2F2:**Dataset** |@#F2F2F2:The dataset forms the direct link to the data set on the Vault.|
 +
 +=== 2.5.2 Properties of an item ===
 +
 +  * **Items are basic objects** that are used to manage information
 +  * They represent physical or conceptual entities that enable audits and information changes.
 +  * Imagine an item as the top level, which contains all information about a specific object or product.
 +  * The item ID is composed as follows - here in the example for the European MAG locations - X.0000.0000
 +  * No two items may have the same item ID. <color #FF0000>**An item ID is always unique!**</color>
 +  * An item provides access to all the information needed to design a part, including all changes, together.
 +  * When creating an item, Teamcenter also automatically creates an Item Master Form
 +  
 +=== 2.5.3 Properties of an item Revision ===
 +
 +  * **Item revisions manage the changes to an item** and save the changes within the item.
 +  * When you create an item, Teamcenter automatically creates the item revision.
 +  * There must be at least one item revision for each item.
 +  * Item revisions are the items that receive a release status
 +  * Contains the SAP master form - here the link between the SAP material number and the item in Teamcenter is linked.
 +  * Contains one or more datasets
 +  
 +==== 2.6. Datasets ====
 +
 +== 2.6.1 Dataset Objects ==
 +
 +Files which are started from Teamcenter with non Teamcenter applications (e.g.: NX, Word, Excel, ...) are managed by Teamcenter => Dataset Objects.
 +
 +Here are some examples:
 +
 +|@#F2F2F2:**Symbol** | @#F2F2F2:**Type** | @#F2F2F2:**File** |@#F2F2F2:**Application**|
 +|@#F2F2F2:{{ :icon_text.png?nolink |}} | @#F2F2F2:Text | @#F2F2F2:.txt |@#F2F2F2:Text Document|

 +
 +=== 2.6.2 Importing a dataset ===
 +
 +  * You can insert datasets in Teamcenter under your item revisions.
 +  * In case the datasets are not yet stored in Teamcenter, you can import the dataset.
 +  * If you import the dataset under your Revision item, you must remember that the dataset is not found under the item but only under the Revision item.
 +  * The revisions that are revised from this item revision also have the dataset reference in the item revisions.
 +  * You can also create a completely new dataset directly in Teamcenter.
 +  
 +==== 2.7. relations ====
 +
 +=== 2.6.1 Relation types ===
 +
 +  * Much information describes an item or is linked to the item, revision
 +  * Teamcenter uses relations to define the relationship between data objects and items / revisions.\\ <color blue>**Automatically defined relation types:**</color>
 +
 +{{ :tc121_allg_grundlagen_008.png?direct&600 |}}
 +  
 +=== 2.6.2 User defined relation types ===
 +
 +(e.g. when copying / inserting objects into an item / revision)
 +
 +  * Specification Relation. Documents of an audit. Are checked and blocked during a release (e.g. 3D masters, drawings, NC programs, ...)
 +
 +  * **Requirement Relation**\\ Contain criteria that must be met by the design, but do not define how the design is to be executed. (e.g. specifications)
 +
 +  * **Altreps**\\ (alternative representation) - Alternative description of the component (e.g. spring tensioned / not tensioned. As this is only a state description, it will not appear in parts lists parallel to the part.
 +
 +  * **Manifestation Relations**\\ Relationship of documents with explanatory character only. These have no meaning in the sense of a relevant or legal product description (e.g. internal presentations, films, photos...)
 +
 +  * **Reference Relation**\\ General, undefined relationships between data objects and items / revisions.\\ (e.g.: field reports, technical articles, laboratory reports notes...)
 +
 +
