Navigate to the following contents:
Note: The contents of the Project Properties tab are available only for added and active project elements in the project.

Content Visibility Controls

For family, section, and product type elements, the following options for controlling the visibility of the contents on the element form are available:

Option Description
Show Inactive Content Click this option to toggle the visibility of all inactive articles, inactive paragraphs (hidden properties), and inactive option set items on the element form. These hidden content items do not display in the section preview and exported files.

By default, this option is enabled.

Show Notes to Specifier Click this option to toggle the visibility of all notes to specifier on the element form.

By default, this option is enabled.

Show Shared Properties Click this option to toggle the visibility of all shared properties on the element form.

By default, this option is disabled.

This option is available only for product types. Shared properties are available in product types to enable family properties within the view of the element form. These properties can be both referenced and modified.

Project Management Properties

For all active project elements, the following project management properties are available:

Field Description
Assigned To Select the project team member who is responsible for the workspace element. The available options for this field are the project's team members.

The default value is Unassigned.

State Select the state in which the element currently is.
The following states are available:
  • New
  • Active
  • Review Needed
  • In Review
  • Needs Coordination
  • Complete

The default value is New.

Current Level of Specification (LOS) Select the current LOS for the element for the specific phase. Current LOS is a non-static value intended to be updated as elements are further developed to clarify current progress.

See Level of Specification (LOS).

The default value is 100.

Target Level of Specification (LOS) Select the target LOS for the element for the specific phase. The target LOS is intended to be determined early in the project to clarify prioritization.

The default value of the target LOS is based on the project's set Level of Specification (LOS) from project creation. A project element's target LOS overrides the project's baseline LOS only for the project element and its child elements. For example, when you set the target LOS of a family, you also set the LOS for all its product types. This includes product types that you add later. In addition, Specpoint activates or inactivates the element's LOS-associated articles and paragraphs based on the element's target LOS.
