Display Rules

 Display Rules

Business object display rules determine the members of the organization who cannot view a business object type in menus in the Teamcenter user interface. The Display Rules editor displays the groups and roles that are not allowed to see the selected type of business object in menus. This rule is primarily used to hide business objects from creation (File→New) menus, thereby restricting those who can create the business object type.

Business object display rules can be applied to the following business objects and their children:

• Dataset

• Folder

• Form

• Item

 Note:

• Although users cannot create objects associated with restricted object types, they can view them and perform other operations, such as copying, modifying, or deleting the objects.

• Business object display rules are subject to the principles of group hierarchy and inheritance. Rules defined at the site level are inherited by all groups and roles within groups. Rules defined for a group are inherited by all subgroups, but rules applied to a subgroup do not affect the parent groups or other subgroups at the same level in the hierarchy (sibling groups). Rules applied to roles within groups apply to all users with that role, but do not affect other roles in the same group.
