4.7.3.1.6.  Columns to be displayed - plinkgroups.cfg -> Block [Role_name] -> Key "VARSUSED / VARSHIDDEN"

[Note]Note

The setting is role-dependent. You can therefore configure the column display differently for each role if required.

The setting affects PARTdataManager.

Columns to be displayed

Setting in the configuration file $CADENAS_SETUP/plinkgroups.cfg:

Block [<variable name>], key VARSUSED

Enter all columns to be displayed as value in the form of a comma separated list.

[Note]Note

The here defined order of the columns is exactly according to the column order in PARTdataManager and thus role-oriented.

Example:

[Role_name]
VARSUSED=ERP_PDM_NUMBER,MAT_NAME,ACTIVE_STATE,REQUESTED_STATE
VARSHIDDEN=REQUESTED_STATE

Setting in PARTadmin -> Category Roles -> Tab General -> Columns to be displayed

Columns not to be displayed

Columns not to be displayed [Columns to hide] are also to be listed separated by commas.

[Note]Note

This setting has to be used, if values from columns shall be exported or column names are used in any conditions, but the columns shall not be displayed.

Example:

Configuration file:

You have entered the following export condition [Export condition]:

EXPORTRESTRICTION=((ERP_PDM_NUMBER.NE.'').AND.(ACTIVE_STATE.EQ.1))

But you do not want to display the "ACTIVE_STATE" column.

[Role_name]
VARSUSED=ERP_PDM_NUMBER,MAT_NAME,ACTIVE_STATE
VARSHIDDEN=ACTIVE_STATE

I.e., only parts, which have an ERP_PDM_NUMBER and furthermore which "Active status" is set on "Released" are allowed to be exported.

"ACTIVE_STATE" must be entered both under Columns to be displayed and Columns not to be displayed [Columns to hide]. If the "ACTIVE_STATE" declaration were omitted, the export would not work.

Sorting sequence of column in PARTdataManager

  • Column sequence of the ERP columns

    The column sequence of the ERP columns in PARTdataManager corresponds exactly to the position in the listing under PARTadmin -> category Roles -> General tab -> Columns to be displayed.

  • Sorting sequence of geometry columns in relation to ERP columns

    By default, ERP columns are displayed before geometry columns.

    In case that some ERP columns are to be displayed at the front and others behind geometry columns - in other words the geometric data somewhere in the middle, then please use the following syntax:

    ERP_PDM_NUMBER,MAT_NAME, ... ,DESCRIPTION

    At the position of "..." the geometry columns are displayed.

  • Column order of the geometry columns one below the other

    You can even adjust the order of the geometry columns (project-related). See Section 4.24.8.2.7.3, “Column sorting of geometry columns in PARTdataManager ”.
