The Components Family options let you customize options for Component Family Definition.

Component Family

Component Family Settings Items Models Access
Use Items only with Target Maturity

You can control the accessibility of family items depending on their maturity (if they reached the target maturity defined in the modeler)

Target maturity is:

  • Defined in a business role to adapt to customization.
  • Reached when using automatic maturity change mode.
  • Achieved with the automatic maturity command in the Family Editor.

If one or more revisions of resolved models are present, Use Items only with Target Maturityapplies the latest revision that has reached a Target Maturity state. In the absence of a Target Maturity state, the command uses the latest revision and issues the following warning:

  • No revision of resolved model with Target Maturity is found. Using latest revision of resolved model.

Note:

This option is applied when accessing items from the Catalog and/or Product Table. When this preference is disabled, you can use items with any maturity. If you use other means to instantiate the model (product insert commands), the option is not used and any model can be instantiated.
