Appendix A – Standard ItemType Configuration

The appendix defines out-of-the-box Feeds for some of Aras Innovator’s standard ItemTypes.

Aggregate messages from own Board, Boards of directly referenced CADs (i.e., first level only without further CAD dependencies), referenced Document Boards and Boards of first level Part BOM children. Shows files only from related CADs and Documents (does not show files from CADs and Documents of first level Part BOM children).

Aggregate messages from own Board and discussions of all new “change control items” of affected items related to the ECO. Show files from all new “change control items” of affected items related to the ECO. This is representative of the Feed definition of other Change items, including PR, ECR, ECN, Simple ECO, Simple MCO, Express DCO, and Express EDR.

Notes:

Internally all three methods must call the same “internal” parameterized method where the type of the polysource is the method parameter.

Here is pseudo-code for the method:

if (new_item_id !== null)

{

if (affected_id !== null && affected.config_id != new_item_id.config_id)

{

return messages from both affected_id and new_item_id

}

else

{

return messages only from new_item_id

}

}

else

{

Return messages only from affected_id

}
