Teamcenter Author fact sheet

This four-page fact sheet sets out what the Teamcenter Author licence includes. Author is the licence for people who create and change product data, as distinct from Teamcenter Consumer users, who can view data and take part in workflows but cannot create or modify it.

What the document covers

• Data management functions: creating and revising items, bills of materials, datasets, folders and problem reports, and starting workflows
• Reviewing and approving workflows, managing releases of items and BOMs, and tracking the history of revisions, changes and workflows
• Document management for Microsoft Word, PowerPoint and Excel, Google Workspace, Adobe applications and PDF, with templates, print stamps, watermarks and distribution statements
• Design management in native CAD or neutral JT formats, with 3D view, navigation, markup and issue review
• Basic BOM and change functions: relationship browsing, BOM compare, problem reports, change requests and notices
• Project workspaces, cloud file storage for SaaS or hybrid delivery, AI assistance, and how Author and Consumer users work together

Who it is for

Engineers, designers and documentation staff who work with PLM data every day, and PLM administrators or managers deciding which users need an Author licence and which can work with a Consumer licence.
