Viewing files in the file manager with details

The product library file manager provides you with different ways to view the files that are associated with each level of the product library. Any type of file can be copied into the product library and associated with a solution, product class, series, product, instance, or area of interest.

You can view the files associated with other items in the product library using the details view. The details view displays the files using smaller icons and provides information about each file.
