Modifying a Reverse View

Hi all,

On a document container, we have a tab with the view of all the DCOs that affect it:

Because this isn't the standard view, the fields/properties that are/aren't shown here do not correlate to their visibility on the DCO item type.

My question is, how do you add or remove fields/properties to this view? 

Please let me know if you need more information. We are using Aras Innovator Version 11 SP9.

  • 11SP9 didn´t have QueryDefintions like we have today. All of these views were done in the codetree. Look for old posts in this forum, e.g.

      Thanks for your reply Angela. I am unfamiliar with codetree, but I am looking to build a similar reverse view. Are you able to point me to any additional relevant resources?

        Try to understand the basic concept first.

        Open the "RelationshipTypes" for Part Changes, Document Changes or CAD changes. Take a look at the RelationshipView tab. What you see is a link to the codetree. The "changes" view is a special rendering made by files in the codetree. The RelationshipViews should link to the files that are mentioned in the threads I posted before.

        Now go to the Aras installation folders (=the codetree) and check out these files. First try to understand the files. Try to find the names of certain ItemTypes and properties. If you want to modify them, try first on an independent test system and make a backup. 

        Tip 1: If you need something custom for your own ItemType, work with a copy of the relevant files. You are not forced to reuse the Aras files, you can also create your own and use these. 

        Tip 2: Always write down codetree changes! Document what files you have changed and why. Avoids much trouble!
