Connects an Issue, change record, or Problem Report to an Item identified as an affected end item.
When to use it
For change records, use the Change Cockpit as the main UI to manage the record and its relationships. Use Affected End Item when you need to record this connection between the source and target records. Affected End Item identifies the affected end product.
Records and direction
- Relationship type: Non-structure. Associates records without creating a parent-child hierarchy.
- From: Issue, Change Request, Change Order, Change Task, Change Context, Problem Report.
- To: Item.
How to use it
- Create the relation with drag and drop in a Structure widget: drag the intended Item onto the Problem Report it relates to. Choose Affected End Item, review the direction and any offered values, then confirm.
- Alternatively, use Connect from the source record and select the target with the Affected End Item relationship.
- Review the resulting connection and the selected record versions where applicable. Check the displayed relationship filters if the connection is not visible.
Example
Prototype Leakage Report (Problem Report) is connected to Pump P-100 (Item) through Affected End Item. The association lets readers follow the related information without creating a hierarchy. This identifies the end item affected by the work, while Affected Item can identify components and other records.
Choosing the relationship
Affected End Item identifies the affected end product. Affected Item can identify affected components and other information.
