Hello,
Under the help it says that "Changes tab shows all the PRs, ECRs, and ECNs that have been filed where this particular part is affected" I am using the simple ECO for change management, and they do not show up in this tab. The tab is controlled by the Part Changes itemtype, but I can not find where they are made. Any pointers in the right direction would be very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Scott

Hi,
Aras Innovator is very flexible, but this changes tab is an exception. If I'm correct the changes tab contains a grid defined in a script file. If you go in your install directory in innovator/client/solutions/plm/scripts/Changes/ you'll get this script. If you wonder how can we know that. You watch the relationship type definition (not the item type definition ) of Part Changes and under the tab relationship view you'll get this path for the script.
Best,
Yoann

Great, thanks for that explanation. I was able to edit the script file to display all the ECOs too. If anyone has this issue, let me know and I can send you the finished script file. I am curious now, are instances of the item type Part Change ever created? It seems to me that the script queries for all the changes every time the part is loaded and displays them. Does one need that dummy item type just to create the tab?
Thanks for any light you can shed on this.
Scott
