1:50 Events Log 2 min Videos PCB Design Engineers Project Leads Electrical Engineers +1 PCB Design Engineers PCB Design Engineers Project Leads Project Leads Electrical Engineers Electrical Engineers Engineering Managers Engineering Managers 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. Event log entries can be searched and filtered by object type as well. The list can be refreshed by typing F5, and an API is also available to transfer event log data to a security information and events management system. Read Article
3:15 Admin Checklists 3 min Videos PCB Design Engineers Project Leads Electrical Engineers +1 PCB Design Engineers PCB Design Engineers Project Leads Project Leads Electrical Engineers Electrical Engineers Engineering Managers Engineering Managers 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 template which can be applied to a design by opening a design, creating a design review, and adding the template checklist to that design. Read Article
4:16 Admin-Explorer Altium 365 Web View 4 min Videos PCB Design Engineers Project Leads Electrical Engineers +1 PCB Design Engineers PCB Design Engineers Project Leads Project Leads Electrical Engineers Electrical Engineers Engineering Managers Engineering Managers 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 that capacitor and the Properties Panel also displays this value. Read Article
4:22 Relink Design Components to Managed Components 5 min Videos PCB Design Engineers Project Leads Electrical Engineers +1 PCB Design Engineers PCB Design Engineers Project Leads Project Leads Electrical Engineers Electrical Engineers Engineering Managers Engineering Managers 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 located in the local library to the Altium 365 components, click auto match to match each component. If any components fail to match, users can select and navigate to the individual components and manually match them. Then, an ACL and ECO are generated, the changes are executed, and the components are updated. After this is completed, all of the components are updated to the latest revision. 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 that capacitor and the Properties Panel also displays this value. Read Article

4:30 Update Components to the Latest Revision 6 min Videos PCB Design Engineers Project Leads Electrical Engineers +1 PCB Design Engineers PCB Design Engineers Project Leads Project Leads Electrical Engineers Electrical Engineers Engineering Managers Engineering Managers 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, users can click the refresh button to update to the latest revision. Likewise, there are also two methods to update multiple components at once. The first method is to select all of the components and right click and choose update to the latest revision in the Item Manager. Then one can open the ECO, modify any necessary components, and execute these changes. Furthermore, components can also be updated in the BOM Dock in the Active BOM. This pulls in information tied to each component, but the revision status is disabled by default. By right clicking in the column header, choosing select columns, and selecting the revision status “eye” icon, this enables the revision visibility. Users can then right click and update components to the latest revision in operations, and ensure that their part components are up to date. Read Article
