It is possible to define rules in which colors directories and project symbols should be displayed in PARTdataManager. It is also possible to include parts that are labeled according to the standard classification in the set of rules.
A sensible rule could be, for example:
Dunkelgrün = Bereits verwendet an allen Standorten Mittelgrün = Bereits verwendet an zwei Standorten Hellgrün = Bereits verwendet an einem Standort Gelb = An keinem Standort verwendet, aber mit ERP-Nummer Orange = Normteil Rot = Entspricht keiner Vorgabe
A color could also be defined to indicate whether a part is in stock. Any rule that can be derived from table information (project information) is possible!
In any case, parts should then be used preferentially in accordance with the label.
A detailed description of how the rules are defined can be found under Section 4.7.3.3.2, “ Status colors for catalog index - plinkgroups.cfg -> Block [role name] -> Key "COLORCONDITIONTREE<number>" ” in PARTsolutions Administration - Manual
