Reordering Product or Resource Lists

This procedure enables you to alter the order in which your products or resources are listed in the ProductList or ResourceList in the PPR tree.

By default, your products and resources are listed in the PPR tree according to the order in which you first added them to the PPR.  This procedure describes how to alter the order.  In addition, you can replace the initial order with alphanumeric ordering by select Tools > Options > Digital Process for Manufacturing > Tree, and selecting the Alphanumeric Order option.

  1. On the Activity Management toolbar, click ProductList/ResourceList Reorder .

  2. Click the ProductList or ResourceList node.

    The ProductList/ResourceList Reorder dialog box appears
  3. Move the product or products within the box.

    During a single session, you can move as many items as you want, although you can only move one item at a time. You can move an item down within the list using the down arrow; up using the up arrow. Alternatively, you can select an item, click the paired arrows, and then click in the place you want your item to appear in the list.
    Clicking Apply enables you to see your changes in the context of the list on the PPR tree.  Clicking OK after clicking Apply alters the list per your specification and closes the dialog box; clicking Cancel at anytime closes the dialog box without the requested changes remaining in effect in the PPR tree.
  4. When you have finished reordering your list, click OK.

You can only modify the order of the parent items within a list; you cannot use this command to re-order parts within a product.  You can, however, switch to the Product Structure workbench and re-order the child elements within the product and resource lists.
  To see your re-ordering every time you open your PPR tree, you must save the file for your changes to persist.
