A guided PLM tour

See ManyRows at work.

The whole PLM loop: from spinning up a project to modelling types, driving the grid, building a BOM, governing changes, and running the PLM toolkit.

Eight chapters. Skip to the one you came for.

[01] Workspaces & projects

Everything starts in a project.

A workspace holds your projects; each project is a self-contained model with its own types, records, and team.

Workspace & projects

[02] Model your data

Polymorphic types, shared fields.

Group types under a base type to share a spine of fields, give each type its own shape, and pick from over twenty field types.

More on this: Data model

Entity types
Entity types
Entity types Define as many types as you need. Each lists its key, description, and field count.
Field types
Field types
Field types Text, long, rich, select, multi-select, boolean, number, money, percent. Every cell knows what it holds.
The full palette

Shared fields

Shared fields Fields used by more than one type are defined once and inherited everywhere. Edit in one place, changes everywhere.
Field groups

Field groups Organise a type’s fields into groups like General, Identification, Sourcing, and Compliance.

[03] Records & the grid

An admin grid that knows your types.

Browse, filter, sort, and edit records inline in a grid that respects every field type, then drop into a full detail view.

More on this: Records and the grid

The data grid

The data grid Inline editing, filters, sorting, and column control across hundreds of records.

[04] Relationships & BOM

Bills of materials, built in.

Compose records into real multi-level BOMs with quantities and rollups, then compare two records side by side.

More on this: Bills of materials

Multi-level BOM
Multi-level BOM
Multi-level BOM A quantified, multi-level bill of materials with part numbers, reference designators, and process steps.
Drill the assembly

[05] Change control

Every change, governed.

Change-controlled types route edits through a change request: a staged working copy, named approvers, an atomic apply, and an immutable revision trail behind every record.

More on this: Change control

Change management
Change management
Change management Track change requests, affected items, and approvals as first-class records.
Review and approve
Review and approve
Review and approve Every change request is its own record, with an approve, reject, or reopen decision on top of a summary of exactly what it adds, changes, and removes.

Immutable revisions

Every applied change request welds a numbered revision onto the record, with the approval reason on it, browsable and diffable at any time.

Named approver rosters

Per-type default rosters, with minor and major change classes. Every named approver signs; the last approval applies the change atomically.

Effectivity dating

Give records effective-from and effective-to windows and view the catalog as of any date, plus unit effectivity for build- and batch-scoped structures.

Locks, obsolescence & audit

Hard-lock a record against all edits, retire parts with supersession pointers and a where-still-used workbench, and read the full audit trail on every record.

[06] PLM toolkit

The PLM toolkit, built in.

Measurements, calendars, costs, quality, and traceability are first-class features you switch on per type, not integrations.

More on this: Measurements Costing Quality Planning

Size specs & grading

POM-by-size measurement charts with tolerances, reusable templates, graded curves, and measured actuals recorded against spec.

Time & Action

Anchor-dated milestone plans with count-back scheduling and dependencies, plus a project-wide milestone workbench across every style.

Costing

Cost sheets with BOM rollups, wastage, markup, FOB-to-landed, and mixed-currency conversion, frozen into labeled snapshots you can compare.

Quality checks & lab dips

Kind-typed check rounds against any subject: approve, use as is, rework, or scrap, with stale-approval cues when the spec moves on.

Lot genealogy & recall

Model lots that consume lots and answer the recall question, every shipped lot affected by one bad batch, in one call.

Dossiers & requirements

Print-ready record dossiers with numbered image callouts for tech-pack handoff, and material requirements exploded per order or per unit.

[07] Assets

Images and files, in their place.

Every image and file lives in a project library and attaches to the records that use it.

More on this: Images and files

Image library
Image library
Image library Upload directly or let images arrive automatically when you add one to a record.
File library
File library
File library The same for documents and attachments, one home, referenced anywhere.
[08] Manufacturer profiles

Manufacturer profiles, out of the box.

Give every trading partner a detailed profile on one easy-to-read page: identifiers, description, classification, revenue, locations, and contacts, all in tidy field groups.

More on this: Planning

One profile, at a glance
