    1. Add or edit this line in the file used to import properties into a page object: 

      emxEngineeringCentral.ShowNegativeInWhereUsed=false

    2. Set the value for this property depending on your business requirements:

      • true = The page shows level numbers preceded by a minus sign.
      • false = The page shows level numbers with no sign.

  3. To specify BOM level filter on the part Where Used page , follow these steps:
    1. Add or edit this line in the file used to import properties into a page object: 

      emxEngineeringCentral.DefaultEBOMLevelFilter=UpTo...

      • UpTo = Filter the BOM up to the level specified in emxEngineeringCentral.DefaultEBOMLevel.
      • All = Do not filter the BOM.
      • Highest = Filter to only the highest BOM level.

    3. To specify the BOM level, add or edit this line in the file used to import properties into a page object:

      The value can be any positive integer.

      Note: This setting is ignored if the default filter is anything other than "UpTo."

  4. To specify the revision filter on the part Where Used page, follow these steps:
    1. Add or edit this line in the file used to import properties into a page object: 

      eServiceEngineeringCentral.WhereUsedRevFilter =  
emxEngineeringCentral.Part.WhereUsedRevisionLast, \

emxEngineeringCentral.Part.WhereUsedRevisionLatestReleased, \

emxEngineeringCentral.Part.WhereUsedRevisionAll

      Use the WhereUsedRevFilter to change the default.

    2. Set the value for this property depending on your business requirements:

      You can remove any of the entries in this list.

      If this list is set to nothing, then the revision filter will default to Latest Released.

      emxEngineeringCentral.Part.WhereUsedProductsAll, \

      emxEngineeringCentral.Part.WhereUsedProductsNone, \                                                 

      emxEngineeringCentral.Part.WhereUsedProductsFeatures, \                                                

      emxEngineeringCentral.Part.WhereUsedProductsProducts, \                                                 

      emxEngineeringCentral.Part.WhereUsedProductsBuilds, \
