Functions for the Active Part: Assignments

In the Assignments area of the article context menu or the same-named Ribbon tab of the article detail window you will find functions for classification, for the displaying of where-used lists, and for the creation and deletion of assignments and links:

	Classification	Opens the dialogue for the Classification of objects.
	Assignments	Use this function to create or remove assignments of articles to folders or projects. The following options are available: Assign to active folder: Assigns the article to the active folder. Assign to active project: Assigns the article to the active project. Remove assignment to active folder: Removes the article from the active folder. Remove assignment to active project: Removes the assignment of the article to the active project. Only the link between article and project will be removed. Remove assignment to folder: Deletes the article from its current folder context. This may also be a different folder than the active one (can be shown in the Folder Explorer via right-click and Show folder, while a different folder is active). Remove assignments to project: Deletes the article from its current project context. This may also be a different folder than the active one (can be shown in the Project Explorer via right-click and Show project, while a different folder is active). Remove assignments to all folders: Removes all assignments of the active article to folders. Remove assignments to all projects: Removes all assignments of the active article to projects. The article will then be "project-independent".
	Where-used lists	Show articles where-used lists: The articles where-used list displays the articles or assemblies in which the active article is contained as a sub-part, including its level in the structure. Show links where-used list: To show the links where-used list of an article, mark the objects to be displayed (or to be excluded) according to link type in the Links area on the right (e.g.Part-Document for the link to the HELiOS document of the CAD file) and click Find. By default, all links are activated. A list of all link targets according to the document search (Find documents) mask will then be displayed.
	Links	Show links: When you select this function, the Show linked objects window will be displayed. Here, all objects (articles and documents) that are linked to the current article will be shown. Show link sources: When you select this function, the Show linked sources window will be displayed. Here, all objects that are linked to the current article will be shown. Remove links in context: Use this option to delete a link to another object. Use this option to delete a link to another object. Since links can only be removed in the respective viewing context (but not any arbitrary links to other objects) this function is only available in a particular context. In a general result list, this function will be greyed out. Beneath these functions in the context menu, as well as at Assignments > Links > ... on the document detail window Ribbon, you can find further functions for the linking of documents and articles.

Please note:

The deleting of an object from a links or where-used list (e.g. via marking and DEL) will not remove the link! Only the marked object will be deleted.
