You can quickly make changes to multiple items in the product tree. You can assign changes to all items within a product tree, or to items that satisfy a search condition. The global change applies from the selected tree item down the tree.
Making Global Changes to a Product Tree View:
| 1. | Activate the Product tree view containing the items you want to change. |
| 2. | From the Tree menu, choose Global Change. The settings dialog will appear: |
| 3. | In the Global Change dialog box, do one of the following: |
| • | To make changes to items that satisfy the selection criteria, select the Use Condition check box. |
| • | To make changes to all product tree items down from the current item, do not select the Use Condition check box. |
| 4. | Select one of the following options from the Apply to list: |
| • | Current level – one level down from the item selected |
| • | All sub-tree – all levels down from the item selected |
| 5. | Select one of the following options from the Type list: |
| • | Tree – to change product tree item data (like Part Number, temperature, LCN, level of repair etc.) |
| • | Processor – to change the prediction method-specific data (like resistor type, PSR, Quality level etc.) |
| 7. | If the Use Condition check box in step 3 was selected, enter search criteria in the Item Data - Conditions dialog box. |
The condition is a logical “AND” between values entered in the fields. For instance, in the illustration below, the search condition is for those optoelectronic LEDs that have 3 character displays AND that include Logic:
*** appearing in a field in the Conditions dialog box means that each field changed from *** to another value will participate in the Global change conditions.
| 8. | In the Item Data: New Values dialog box, select or enter new values in those fields to be modified. |
*** appearing in a field in the New Values dialog box means that each field changed will result in a corresponding parameter change for all items (depending on the conditions in Conditions dialog box) during the Global Change.
| 10. | RAM Commander updates the Product tree view with the new values. |
