6.3.2.  Create variant in PARTdataManager

In PARTdataManager you can use Add data record to link database (variant) [Add dataset to link database (variant)] to create a variant of a data record.

[Note]Note

The variant is not created in the project table of the catalog, but in the LinkDB, so that no problems arise with subsequent catalog updates.

The button is only available with extended ERP functionality (erpcustom.cfg). It is also role-related and can therefore be deactivated for certain users. See Section 4.8, “ERP toolbar and menu ” in PARTsolutions Administration - Manual .

You can activate the button at erpcustom.cfg.
