A resource is a PLM object (for example, a catalog or a business rule) or another type of file (for example, a bitmap or a spreadsheet). In Data Setup, resources are grouped in resource sets. A resource set is a PLM object that implements a single resource table. This topic lists available resources in Visu Dynamic Assistant Resource.

Note: The sample VisuAssistant_Dynamic.xml is located at ...\startup\EquipmentAndSystems\SpaceReferenceSystem.
Important:
  • You can modify the XML file and add the required customized extensions. You can hide or show these customized extensions in the Dynamic Assistant area of the Visu Assistant panel.
  • The name of the extensions must be same as the one deployed on the server.

    For more information, see Model Specialization Management User's Guide: Creating and Editing an Extension.

  • You must use knowledgeware types of the PLMObjects, feaures, and extensions in the XML file. This lets you use multiple attributes of the knowledgeware types to customize the object nodes. For example, you can customize a node using attributes such as name, material, and thickness.
    Notes:
    • Exact matching is done for the knowledgeware types. For example, if a node is of VPMReference type, it will consider objects with VPMReference type only. The objects with sub types of VPMReference will not be considered.
    • The wildcard character (*) is allowed only for the attributes of type String.
  • In the XML file, you can also define the graphical properties (color, visible, and pickable) for object nodes.
  • The XML file must be XML version 3. If this is not the case, you must convert the XML file to XML version 3.
