Handle resources in Aras Project Management possible?

Hi, We have Parts/Products in the PLM, that require additional testing until the product is ready for production. We currently evaluate, what´s the best way to organize these tests. The Aras Project Management feature might be a suitable solution, as it can easily be used to schedule and define certain Activities. In our case, some of the Activities require additional resources to be completed. These can be special measurement equipment or personal to handle the tests. Some of these resources are limited and can not be used more than once at the same time (e.g. heat chamber). I have to admit, that resource planning may not be something, that is typically done by a PLM system. But in our case it would be a helpful feature, as people don´t have to leave the PLM environment for creating and planning new products. Managing tests in the PLM would also help to insure the traceability back to the requirements that are used as basis for the test plans. Is it currently possible to do some basic resource planning in the current Project Management release? Or are there any other options in Aras available that can be used for this task? Thanks again! Angela

Technical Publications & Custom Tech Docs project

The Technical Document (inside Technical Publication solution) enables to implement custom Content Generator method to extract item-based and item-related information. By default is this set to the tp_ItemInfoContentGenerator method. I started to implement new Content Generator method, because I would like to include also relationshipType information. Is there any documention about the ItemDocumentElement, TableDocumentElement, Factory, etc. classes, which could be used in the method. I also included the Custom Tech Docs ArasLab project developed by Eli Donahue, but there is still missing lots of TechDocs capabilities, which could be included by Content Generator method. Such as Conditions, Graphs, Section, List , List Item etc. Where I can find some documentation or other help about those classes/items? Kind regards, Primož Samples: this.Factory.NewText() this.Factory.NewTable() this.Factory.InnovatorInstance.newItem() etc. ItemDocumentElement.ClearChilds(); ItemDocumentElement.AddChild(); ItemDocumentElement.GetItemProperty() etc. TableDocumentElement.GetCell().AddChild() TableDocumentElement.MergeCells() etc.
