Export restrictions contribute substantially to the controlled use of parts.
The setting is made in the user interface under PARTadmin -> Category Roles -> General tab -> Export condition or alternatively via configuration file plinkgroups.cfg -> Block [Role name] -> Key EXPORTRESTRICTION.
An existing export restriction is signalized by a status light in the table, at the beginning of each line.
Standard status display: The green/red display is standard:
Extended status display: With the setting under PARTadmin -> Category Roles -> Display tab page -> Status bitmaps for table [Status indicating bitmaps for table view] dialog area, you can use any type of status display. See Status Section 4.7.4.3.1, “ Status icons for table - plinkgroups.cfg -> Block [<role name>] - key "BMPCONDITION<number>" ”" Section 4.7.4.3.1, “ Status icons for table - plinkgroups.cfg -> Block [<role name>] - key "BMPCONDITION<number>" ”.
Setting via user interface: PARTadmin -> Category Roles -> General tab -> Export condition
For this setting you can use Fortran syntax or SQL syntax as well.
- EXPORTRESTRICTION = ERP_PDM_NUMBER.NE.'' - or - EXPORTRESTRICTION = ERP_PDM_NUMBER<>'' - Meaning: ERP_PDM_NUMBER may not be equal to "blank". - Only rows which meet the condition get the green status light. - A data record without ERP number is displayed in red and thus is not exportable. 
- EXPORTRESTRICTION = ((ERP_PDM_NUMBER.NE.'').AND.(ACTIVE_STATE.EQ.'1')) - Meaning: There has to be an ERP_PDM_NUMBER AND the entry in the "Active state" column must be "Released". Both conditions have to be fulfilled. 
- EXPORTRESTRICTION = ((ACTIVE_STATE.EQ.1).AND.(BLNNR.NE.'')) - Meaning: Only data sets can be exported, which current status is "Released" and which have an entry in the "BLNR" column. 
- This example shows the setting options via config file or via PARTadmin in detail and shows enhanced status lights. - Setting in configuration file - $CADENAS_SETUP/plinkgroups.cfg:- Block [<role name>], key EXPORTRESTRICTION, value contains condition - EXPORTRESTRICTION = ((ERP_PDM_NUMBER.NE.'').AND.(LOC3.EQ.'x')) - Meaning: ERP_PDM_NUMBER may not be equal to "blank" AND the column LOC3 has to have the term 'x' as entry. - Example: The user with the role "Location 3" cannot export line 7 because column LOC3 does not show the entry 'x', which is required in the export condition [Export condition]. - For this example, additional settings are required under PARTadmin -> Category Roles -> Display tab -> Status bitmaps for table [Status indicating bitmaps for table view]. This overwrites the standard red-green display, but the export condition remains unaffected. Details can be found under Section 4.7.4.3.1, “ Status icons for table - plinkgroups.cfg -> Block [<role name>] - key "BMPCONDITION<number>" ”.
