About Changing the Settings

You can change a wide variety of settings for Product Editor, using the Settings icon in the ENOVIA Portal. The various settings available through this function effect the way Product Editor looks and operates. For example, after repeatedly using Product Editor to review product structures, you decide that you prefer the sheet mode as a means of reviewing object attributes.  Therefore, you change the Type Data View setting in the ENOVIA Portal Settings window to automatically display the sheet view of object attributes.
