About the Fusion Manage Panel

The Fusion Manage Panel provides a live, read-only view of synchronized Vault Items directly within the Vault client. This panel displays the corresponding Fusion Manage Item details without leaving Vault.

The Fusion Manage Panel offers immediate visibility into the synchronization state and content of Items in Fusion Manage. The panel displays automatically when you select a synced Item or file in Vault, eliminating the need to switch between applications to verify synchronization results or review Item information.

What the Fusion Manage Panel displays

The Fusion Manage Panel shows comprehensive information about the selected Item:

Breadcrumb navigation: Captures the history of your interactions in the panel and displays it with a history of 15 entities
Key properties: Pinned properties like Item Number, Lifecycle State, Title, and Description appear at the top
Detailed properties: All synchronized properties organized in collapsible sections
Related data: Access to BOMs, related items, changes, where-used information, and attached files through tabs

Live link functionality

The panel creates a live link between Vault and Fusion Manage:

Selecting an Item in the Vault data grid displays its corresponding Fusion Manage Item in the panel
Selecting a file with an associated synced Item also displays that Item in the panel
The panel updates automatically when you select different Items or files
All information displayed is read-only and reflects the current state in Fusion Manage

File selection and item identification

When you select a file from the Vault grid, the Fusion Manage Panel automatically identifies any associated Items:

Single associated Item: The panel displays the Item details immediately
Multiple associated Items: The panel shows a list of all associated Items. Select the Item you want to view from the list
No associated Items: The panel displays a message that prompts you to select a single synced Item to view

The panel determines Item associations by checking the synchronization relationship between the selected file and Items in Fusion Manage. This allows you to view Item information even when working with files in the Vault grid.

Panel tabs

The Fusion Manage Panel organizes information into several tabs:

Item: Displays all properties and attributes for the selected Item, organized in collapsible sections
Related Items: Shows Items that have relationships with the selected Item
BOM: Displays the Bill of Materials structure with expandable/collapsible hierarchy
Related Changes: Lists Change Orders, ECOs, or other change management records associated with the Item
Where Used: Shows parent assemblies and other Items that reference the selected Item
Files: Lists all files attached to the Item in Fusion Manage, including neutral format files

Panel actions

The panel toolbar provides quick access to common actions:
