Column Headers

The following columns are displayed in the MySession app.

Column Name Description
Title Displays the name of the family without the file extension. Click to expand the structure of these objects.

Revision Displays the revision of the object.
Status Displays an icon that represents the status of the given revision of the object in the 3DEXPERIENCE. The statuses are represented by the following icons:
  • : The object is new in the Solid Edge® session and does not exist in the 3DEXPERIENCE.
  • : The object exists in the 3DEXPERIENCE and has been modified after downloading from the 3DEXPERIENCE.
  • : The object is in the 3DEXPERIENCE and is not modified after downloading it from the3DEXPERIENCE.
Lock Status Displays the reservation status of the object. This column is empty if the object does not exist in the 3DEXPERIENCE. The reservation status is represented by the following icons:
  • : Locked by you
  • : Locked by another user
  • : Not locked
  • No icon: The object has no lock status as the object has not been saved in the 3DEXPERIENCE yet.
Maturity State Displays the lifecycle of the object.
File Name Displays the file name with extension.
Name Displays the PLM external ID of the object
Type Displays the string of the objects that is if the object is a product or a drawing.
Notes:
