Query, Global Set and VPDM View Tabs

Query Tab

Query Criteria

There are two different query criteria available:

Objects

Enables you to display a tree based on the expanded PDM root product corresponding to the CATIA root product. this tree is displayed only after the root Part of the assembly structure has been mapped.

Global Set Tab

Enables you to automate the valuation of the reconciliation rules.

Global query

Enables you to perform a query using the Latest available revision criteria.
When you select this option and click the Apply button, a dialog box is displayed, prompting you to apply the implicit rules after the query. This query is used to automate the mapping of all objects to reconcile. If the query returns only one result then this result will be mapped to the object on which the query was run.
Automatic Pre-selection Enables you to automatically perform queries, identification of targeted SmarTeam Documents and selection of reconciliation rules each time you launch the Reconcile Window.
All objects as New Enables you to set all objects to New. When you select this option and click the Apply button, a dialog box is displayed. If you check the Force mapped object to New option, all the objects, even those that are already mapped, will be set to New.
All objects as Overwrite Enables you to set all mapped objects with no rule to Overwrite. When you select this option and click the Apply button, a dialog box is displayed. If you check the Force all to Overwrite, the rules that were previously applied to these objects will be overwritten.
All objects as Reload Enables you to set all mapped documents to Reload. When you select this option and click the Apply button, a dialog box is displayed. If you check the Force all documents to Reload, all existing rules will be overwritten and replaced with Reload.
All objects as Keep External  
Reset all Enables you to reset all objects mapping and/or rules. When you select this option, and click the Apply button, a dialog box is displayed. You may then decide to reset only the rules or the rules and the mapping.

VPDM View Tab

Displays a tree based on the expanded SmarTeam root product corresponding to the CATIA root product. This tree is displayed only after the root Part of the assembly structure has been mapped. This allows you to use this view to establish a mapping between one CATIA object and a SmarTeam object.
