| Clusters (tsbsc1100m000) |  |
| Use this session to maintain clusters. Example Two engines, each of which has the code CF6, and which belong to your business partner MACH Industries (MACHI), are identified as one cluster. The cluster is called CF6 machine MACHI. On the Specific menu, you can choose: Create Physical Breakdown Enables you to generate a physical breakdown from one of the following: Item breakdown As-built structure ASCII file Project-breakdown structure View Tree Displays the structure of the selected cluster in a graphical way. Lines Enables you to view or maintain configurations for the selected cluster. Planned Activities Starts the Planned Activities (tsspc2100m000) session. Service Contract Starts the Service Contracts (tsctm3100m000) session. Note You can use the Sort by command on the View menu to choose the way you want to display the cluster data.
