View Items in the Fusion Manage Panel

View detailed information about synchronized Items directly in Vault using the Fusion Manage Panel. The panel provides real-time access to Item properties, BOMs, and related data from Fusion Manage without leaving the Vault client.

The Fusion Manage Panel displays automatically when you select a synced Item or file in Vault. Use the panel to verify synchronization results, review Item details, explore BOM structures, and access related information. All data in the panel is read-only and reflects the current state in Fusion Manage.

1. Open the Fusion Manage Panel:

   In the Vault client, locate the Fusion Manage Panel on the right side of the interface.

   If the panel is not visible, click the panel toggle button or check the View menu to enable the Fusion Manage Panel.

2. Select an Item or file in Vault:

   • Click an Item in the Item Master view

   • Select a file in the file browser that has an associated Item

   • Choose an Item from search results

     The Fusion Manage Panel automatically displays the corresponding Item details from Fusion Manage.

3. Review the Item properties:

   The panel displays key properties at the top, including:

   Click the tabs at the top of the panel to view different types of information:

   • Item: View all properties and attributes
   • Related Items: Explore items with relationships to the selected Item
   • BOM: Review the Bill of Materials structure
   • Related Changes: Check associated Change Orders or ECOs
   • Where Used: See parent assemblies using this Item
   • Files: Access attached files and documents

5. Explore BOM information:

   In the BOM tab, expand or collapse levels to navigate the product structure.

   • Click Expand All to view the complete BOM hierarchy

   • Click Collapse All to show only top-level components

   • Use the view options to switch between different BOM views

     The BOM displays quantity, position, and other component details.

6. Use panel actions:

   Use the toolbar buttons to perform actions on the selected Item:
