Configuring Change Object Properties

Create or open the text file to contain customized properties. For more information, see Editing Properties Using MQL.

To specify allowed states for Add Existing for CO proposed changes, follow these steps:

Add or edit this line in the file used to import properties into a page object:
```
emxEngineeringCentral.ECOAffectedItems.AllowedStates = 
policy_ECPart.state_In Work,policy_ECPart.state_Released
```
By default, parts and specifications that are in the In Work or Release state can be added to a CO as proposed changes.
Add or remove states.

To specify Mandatory setting for a development change object, follow these steps:

Add or edit this line in the file used to import properties into a page object:
```
 emxTeamEngineering.TeamChange.Mandatory=False
```
Set the value for this property depending on your business requirements:
- True = A development change object is mandatory to complete a development part.
- False = A development change object is not mandatory to complete a development part. This is the default setting.

To specify whether item markups can be applied in the context of the change object, follow these steps:

Add or edit this line in the file used to import properties into a page object:
```
emxEngineeringCentral.Change.AllowApply=type_ECO,type_MECO
```
If the change object type is not specified, the Apply command link is not available in the Markup menu.
Add or remove types.

To include or exclude the sections included in the CR summary report, follow these steps:

Add or edit the lines below:

emxEngineeringCentral.ECRSummary.Attributes=true

emxEngineeringCentral.ECRSummary.Approvals=true

emxEngineeringCentral.ECRSummary.Routes=true

emxEngineeringCentral.ECRSummary.Tasks=true

emxEngineeringCentral.ECRSummary.AffectedItems=true

emxEngineeringCentral.ECRSummary.Assignees=true

emxEngineeringCentral.ECRSummary.RelatedECO=true

emxEngineeringCentral.ECRSummary.Markups=true

emxEngineeringCentral.ECRSummary.ReferenceDocuments=true

emxEngineeringCentral.ECRSummary.ResolvedItems=true

** By default, the following sections are NOT included in the CR summary report.

emxEngineeringCentral.ECRSummary.ObsoleteParts=false

emxEngineeringCentral.ECRSummary.RevisedParts=false

emxEngineeringCentral.ECRSummary.RevisedSpecs=false

emxEngineeringCentral.ECRSummary.SupportingDocuments=false

To exclude a section from the report, set its property to false. To include a section in the report, set its property to true.

To include or exclude the sections included in the CO summary report, follow these steps:

Add or edit the lines below. By default, the following sections are included in the CO summary report, in addition to basic information. The basic information section is required, but all other sections are optional. :

emxEngineeringCentral.ECOSummary.Attributes=true

emxEngineeringCentral.ECOSummary.Approvals=true

emxEngineeringCentral.ECOSummary.Routes=true

emxEngineeringCentral.ECOSummary.Tasks=true

emxEngineeringCentral.ECOSummary.AffectedItems=true

emxEngineeringCentral.ECOSummary.Assignees=true

emxEngineeringCentral.ECOSummary.RelatedECR=true

emxEngineeringCentral.ECOSummary.Markups=true

emxEngineeringCentral.ECOSummary.ReferenceDocuments=true

emxEngineeringCentral.ECOSummary.ResolvedItems=true

** By default, the following sections are NOT included in the CO summary report.

emxEngineeringCentral.ECOSummary.NewParts=false

emxEngineeringCentral.ECOSummary.NewSpecs=false

emxEngineeringCentral.ECOSummary.ObsoleteParts=false

emxEngineeringCentral.ECOSummary.RevisedParts=false

emxEngineeringCentral.ECOSummary.RevisedSpecs=false

emxEngineeringCentral.ECOSummary.SupportingDocuments=false

emxEngineeringCentral.ECOSummary.NetBOMComparison=false

Set the value for each property depending on your business requirements:
- true = The section is included in the Summary Report.
- false = The section is not included in the Summary Report.

To disable CR/CO delegation notification, follow these steps:

Add or edit this line in the file used to import properties into a page object:
```
emxEngineeringCentral.IconMail.DelegateAssignment = TRUE
```
Whenever an "Assigned Proposed Change" relationship is established between the "Assigned EC" and "Proposed Change" relationships, an email notification is sent to the new user indicating the delegation for specific proposed changes of a CR or CO has taken place and the user is assigned to them.
Set the value for this property depending on your business requirements:
- TRUE = Mail notification is enabled. This is the default value.
- FALSE = Mail notification is disabled.

To specify settings for change processes, follow these steps:

Add or edit this line in the file used to import properties into a page object:
```
emxEngineeringCentral.Check.PartVersion=TRUE
```
This setting is used to switch between serial and parallel change processes thereby enabling part versioning. In a parallel change process, instead of creating a new part revision during the change process, a part version object is created that is later inserted in the revision chain when the part version is released.
Set the value for this property depending on your business requirements:
- TRUE = The parallel change process is used. Instead of creating a new part revision during the change process, it will create a part version object that is later inserted in the revision change when the part version is released.
- FALSE = The serial change process is used, which creates a new part revision during the change process.

To specify states for Raise CR wizard, follow these steps:

Add or edit this line in the file used to import properties into a page object:
```
emxEngineeringCentral.MassUpdateECRStates=state_In Work,state_Submit, state_Evaluate
```
When raising a CR using an existing CR, the search includes only CRs in the states shown in the list. These states can be specified using this property.
Add or remove states.

To specify whether a CO is required to release manufacturer equivalent parts, follow these steps:

Add or edit this line in the file used to import properties into a page object:
```
emxEngineeringCentral.AllowChangeManagementForManufacturerEquivalentParts=true
```
Set the value for this property depending on your business requirements:
- true = The CO to Release attribute is shown on manufacturer equivalent part pages.
- false = The CO to Release attribute is not shown on manufacturer equivalent part pages.

To specify the states in which a CO is allowed to be associated with a CR, follow these steps:

Add or edit this line in the file used to import properties into a page object:
```
emxEngineeringCentral.ECOStateList=Create,Define Components,Define Work
```
By default, only COs in the Draft state can be associated with a CR. A wizard opens when the CR is promoted to the Plan CO state and the user can specify criteria to search for an existing CO.
Set the value for this property depending on your business requirements:
- Create = enable users to select existing COs in only the Draft state. This is the default.
- To allow users to select existing COs in other than the Draft state, specify additional states using this property.

To specify whether items can be deleted from the Cancel CO page, follow these steps:

Add or edit this line in the file used to import properties into a page object:
```
emxEngineeringCentral.CancelECO.disableDeleteAffectedItems=true
```
Set the value for this property depending on your business requirements:
- true = Items cannot be deleted in the Cancel CO form. This is the default value.
- false = Items can be deleted in the Cancel CO form.

To specify PDF rendering for summary reports, follow these steps if AdLib eXpress is installed (If AdLib eXpress is not installed, these properties are not used):

Add or edit these lines:

emxEngineeringCentral.RenderPDF=No

emxEngineeringCentral.PDF.InputFolderPath=C:/AdLib eXpress/input/

emxEngineeringCentral.PDF.OutputFolderPath=C:/AdLib eXpress/Output

emxEngineeringCentral.PDF.SleepInterval=30

emxEngineeringCentral.PDF.SuccessMessage=Rendering Successful

emxEngineeringCentral.PDF.ErrorMessage=Rendition Process Failed

Set the value for the RenderPDF property, depending on your business requirements:
- true = the "Summary Report - PDF" link appears in CR/CO tabs for users who are assigned the Administration Manager role.
- false = the "Summary Report - PDF" link does not appear.

If needed, continue editing the page object. If finished, save the page.

When finished updating the text file with all properties you want to modify, including the ones shown here, use the text file to modify the emxEngineeringCentral.properties page object. For more information, see Editing Properties Using MQL.
