Summary:  This video demonstrates navigating within the events log.  The events log showcases user events and data within the workspace in a single access point for data governance.   To begin, navigate to the admin tab and the events log link once the Organizational Security Package is enabled.  Many types of logged events are visible including additions, removals, workspace member group assignments, component and object data, and data sharing...

Summary:  This video demonstrates how to add a checklist to an Altium 365 Platform for use in design reviews.  To begin, navigate to the admin button, and select checklists on the right hand side to see current platform checklists.   Edit or delete one by selecting the three radial dots, or create a new one by selecting the new button.   In the new checklist, type or paste a list of items and a name and select add.  This creates a new checklist...

Summary:  This video demonstrates how to use the Explorer in Altium 365 Web View to set up folder structures, view files, and add permissions.  To begin, open the admin section and the Explorer, then navigate to the right side to the components folder.  Within this, administrators can add, edit, share, follow, or remove a folder by right click.   Right click to add a folder with a name, description, and the naming scheme, and then select save. ...

Summary:  This video demonstrates how unmanaged projects can use managed components, even when a user is offline and using a local machine.  In order to link this local project to an Altium 365 Workspace and integrate the resources of Altium 365 into this project, open tools and then the Item Manager.    The Item Manager will scan the design and load any components within the design, showing that they are unmanaged.  To relink these components...

Summary:  This video demonstrates how to enable parameters when placing a component.  The first step is to open the Explorer Panel, and within components, open the capacitors folder and right click for properties.   Configure the parameters "Visible on Add" by selecting enable for the "PackageCase" parameter and click okay.  Refresh the screen and choose a component within the capacitors folder and place it.  Now the case size is visible for...

Summary:  This video demonstrates the process to update components to the latest revision.  This may be necessary if a component is placed before updates need to be made in the Altium 365 Library.  However, Altium 365 can help users identify any changes to components and update them.  Within the Properties Panel in Altium Designer, the revision status identifies if a component is using the latest revision available.  If this is not the case...

Summary:  This video demonstrates the process to synchronize a supply chain database to a Workspace in Altium 365.  Altium 365 allows users to link components to real world parts using part choices.  Parts are stored in a component library. By knowing the manufacturer information for a part, users can check part stock, prices, and the lifecycle of each component, allowing them to manage part obsolescence for projects.  The video begins by...

Summary:  This video demonstrates how to roll back a previous version of a component in case of file errors or premature component modifications.  The video demonstrates the process to edit a revision on a capacitor.  The first step is to log in to the Explorer Panel on the workspace.  By navigating to the components folder and choosing a capacitor, the video reverts to the component’s eighth revision and makes this the most current component...

Summary: This video demonstrates how to keep parameters of your components in Altium 365 in sync with a local database.  The video shows the step-by-step process to do this and begins by going to extensions and updates to configure the custom data synchronization for a component.  This is done by selecting the data source, such as a DB Lib, an Access File, an Excel File, a CSV file, or a connection string from a MySQL Database and pasting the...
