4:51 Workspace General Settings 5 min Videos Engineering Managers

PCB Design Engineers This video demonstrates some of the general settings within the Admin Section of a user's workspace. It also contains general information on topics such as the workspace, name, description, URL, and server location. The video begins by renaming the workspace, adding a description, and viewing the server location for the workspace data and the URL. Once changes are made, users are instructed to log out and log back into the workspace to view those changes. Afterwards, the workspace name is changed to eliminate confusion between multiple workspaces.

PCB Design Engineers This video demonstrates how to set sharing permissions for folders in the Explorer Panel. To do so, expand the components folder, and select a folder within it. Next, right click and select properties. In the properties dialog box, select the share link, and alter the permissions for users via the drop down option. To add a role, type it in. Any permissions set for a folder will also apply to the children's folders within that top folder. Finally, close the dialog boxes by selecting okay twice to set the sharing permissions for a component.

1:38 Admin-Data Cleanup 2 min Videos PCB Design Engineers

Engineering Managers This short video demonstrates how to delete items from the platform. To begin, navigate to the Admin Section, and then Bulk and Data Cleanup under Settings, to delete the data. However, it is worth noting that this operation cannot be undone, it may take a while to complete, and will create a workspace snapshot prior to removing the items. Users are able to select specific items for deletion or delete all of the items, once the projects and components are removed. In order to batch delete items, a confirmation is also required.

4:23 BOM Portal Supplier Data Export 4 min Videos PCB Design Engineers

Engineering Managers Altium 365 Bom Portal allows you to upload or create a Bill of Materials for an existing managed design. It can also export an Excel BOM that contains the data from multiple suppliers, including prices. To begin, create a BOM document, and display some favored suppliers for a part. Next, open Excel and create a BOM template using the demonstrated special column queries, before saving and uploading the file into the BOM Portal in Altium Designer. Finally, refresh the page and download the file to view the prices easily for the chosen suppliers and data.

5:19 Move a Project Between Workspaces 4 min Videos Engineering Managers

Engineering Managers

Electrical Engineers

PCB Design Engineers This video demonstrates two processes to move a project from one workspace into another. The first method begins in Altium Designer by opening a project, unlinking the git folder, turning off the synchronization, and making it available online. However, this method does not include the project history. The second method also begins in Altium Designer, within the workspace. In this method, the user manually unlinks the project in notepad by removing the managed folder. Then, a fake version control system is created using the Tortoise Git Tool. The changes are pushed to the local version control and the project is made available online and migrated to the workspace version control.

3:20 Component Tracing 3 min Videos PCB Design Engineers

Engineering Managers This video demonstrates how to use the Altium 365 Component Library to see who created or modified a component in the web interface. It also shows users how to create a list of all components a particular user has created or modified and how to export such a list. To begin, the video uses a capacitor component type to view it's lifecycle, parameters, and models. Also shown are the revisions made to the component, it's history, and who created and revised it. This information is available in Altium Designer in the Components Panel and the Explorer Panel, where the creation data for the part is used to create a list of components by a specific user.
