Attaching the Tree Grid View to an ItemType

The Tree Grid View item includes an Action that automatically creates a RelationshipType and attaches it to the specified Context Item Type. The created RelationshipType automatically inherits the same name as the one used for the Tree Grid View item. The RelationshipType also inherits a custom view as defined by the table which populates based on the query defined in the associated Query Definition item.

1. To create a RelationshipType, select the Tree Grid View.
2. Click the More button and select Set Tree Grid View Usage in the drop-down menu.

Figure 19.

Only run the action once. Running the action a second time results in an error message because the RelationshipType already exists. However, it is still possible to make changes to both the Tree Grid View and the Query Definition items.

3. Select the Relationship Tab as the target usage in the Set Tree Grid Usage dialog box.

4. Choose the Relationship Name.

   Note

   The Define Starting Conditions checkbox is used to set filters on the Root Node (Part). Otherwise, all results will be returned. In this case all Parts in the database.

6. Define the Starting Conditions: set them to filter based on the Part ID.
