Valuating Attributes

You can associate table columns and attributes of the resolved items. This function modified attributes depending on the values of the family characteristics.

Context:

  • Click Automatically Map Attributes to automatically map the column name and the internal name of the attribute. The ComponentsFamilyAttributeMapping business rule is executed when you click Automatically Map Attributes.
  • By default, when a rule is not defined, mapping is performed by lexicographically matching column names and attribute internal names.
  • You can define business rules in Data Setup to map attributes with design table columns as required.
  • The Enterprise Item Number attribute is added inside the Attributes valuation command and is automatically mapped with the Enterprise Item Number table column during the creation of a family.
  • During the resolution process, the Enterprise Item Number attribute is valuated on the resolved model based on its defined mapping.

  1. Click Valuate Attributes .
  2. In the Attributes Management dialog box, select Description (String) from the Attribute list.
  3. In the Column list, select Part Number.
  4. Click OK when done.

    Warning: The value of the Enterprise Item Number must be unique. If it is not in compliance with the administrator formatted value, when resolving the item, a warning message is displayed and the Part Number icon changes to red . Manually update the enterprise item number, then click Fix Family Items Problems.

    Note: Fix Family Items Problems does not verify the validity of the Enterprise Item Number.
