Supported data types

Violet can fetch both part data as well as files from Teamcenter.

Data

• Part Name

• Part Number

• Revisions

• BOM

• Release Date

• Release Status (this is a Violet-created field that is determined based on Release Date)

• Owner

• Item Type

• Last Modified Date

• Last Modified By

• Material

• Physical Properties (Mass, Density, Center of Mass, Volume, Surface Area, Thickness)

• Vendor

• Vendor Part Number

• Mechanical Engineer (coming soon)

• Responsible Engineer (coming soon)

Violet also surfaces the hierarchical assembly for each part, including all children and assemblies in which the part appears. This hierarchy will be shown on each part's Entity Detail page in Violet.

Files

• STEP

• PDF

• Zip

• Word (.doc)

• Excel (.xslx)

• Powerpoint (.ppt)

If you need to ingest a different file type, please let us know.

Files are accessible in Violet via each part's Entity Detail page. To download a file, click the download icon in the table at the bottom of the page.

Requirements for Syncing Files

The Violet integration connects files to parts only if they are immediate children of those parts. Your Teamcenter implementation must be configured in this way in order to maintain part-file matches in Violet.

✅ Good Part-File Structuring

• Part A

  • PDF A

• Part B

  • PDF B

If your parts and files are structured differently (see below example), the match must be performed with a manual script. Reach out to us for help if this is needed.

❌ Bad Part-File Structuring

• Part A

  • dwg object (internal Teamcenter object)

    • PDF A
