Create a study in Study Manager

If you want to use a study in Study Manager view or the Load Study dialog box, you must create the studies in Study Manager. Any studies created using the legacy New Study command must be converted before they can use used.

1. In the Manufacturing Process Planner, right-click the collaboration context, an object in a process structure, or an object in the plant structure, and choose Open with → Study Manager .

   The Study Manager view opens.

   Tip:

   To switch the active object in the Study Manager, select a different object and choose Set input to recent selection.

   To open a second Study Manager view, right-click a different object and choose Open with → Study Manager .

2. In Study Manager view, click Create Study .

   The Create Study dialog box opens.

3. In the Create Study dialog box, select Isolated Study or Shared Study .

4. Type a name and optional description.

5. Click Create.

   The new study is shown in the Study Manager view.

   The new study is also shown in the Collaboration Context Tree view.

   

   The study is now attached to the collaboration context, but its relation is not shown by default in the Collaboration Context Tree. Your environment may contain hundreds of studies, and showing the relation for each study would cause the data to load slowly.

6. Copy the structures you want into the new study. You can add one or more of the following to the study:

   • Process area objects from the process structure.

   • Work area and resource objects from the plant structure.

   Note:

   The objects that you add directly to a study are the root objects, which are searchable.

   The new study opens in its own view and appears at the bottom of the collaboration context tree. You can see it in Study Manager when you select the collaboration context and click .
