Two options in the User and Group properties dialog boxes let administrators edit user profiles to set caching behavior. These options automate refreshing and clearing the local cache on designated folders.
To reduce the number of individual notifications users receive, Enterprise PDM groups all the delayed in state notifications that occur during the specified time interval and sends a single email containing the details of the files that meet the delayed in state criteria.
A filter for dynamic notification recipients in the Do Transition dialog box facilitates selection for users when a company has many users designated for dynamic notification.
In the SolidWorks application, you can hide a Bill of Materials on a drawing or assembly to prevent it from distracting you. Meanwhile, you may want to access the SolidWorks BOM in Enterprise PDM to export ballooning and other information to other applications like an MRP/ERP system.
Administrators can give users who work in the SolidWorks add-in access to earlier versions of files even when the Always work with latest version of files setting is enabled.
Administrators can configure user settings to specify how the Check Out dialog box handles referenced files.
The time required for changing workflow states in high latency environments has been significantly reduced.
The reference tree structures maintained by Enterprise PDM are often large and contain many levels. New controls in dialog boxes and Preview tabs make it easier to navigate these structures.
To facilitate work in dialog boxes and Preview tabs, you can add columns based on Enterprise PDM variables. You can also rearrange the dialog box display by dragging the column heads.
In the Enterprise PDM Add-in for SolidWorks, you can set the Task pane display information to include a Reference version column. This column shows the version of a file that is referenced by an assembly compared to the latest version of the same file in the database.
When you include version free variables in the data card of a file, you can use a workflow transition to update the content of the variables without creating a new version of the file.
Child Quick Information warnings in the Enterprise PDM SolidWorks add-in indicate the status of the in-session SolidWorks file and its references. These icons now appear at the top assembly level for all lower level files.
