Overview

This chapter includes a high-level definition of the Capital Teamwork software, initial setup information, and an introduction to the interface.

Introduction

Capital Teamwork is a web-based application designed to manage project-related objects within the Capital database — such as designs and build lists — that are authored in third-party applications or the Capital design tools.

You use the following workflows in the Application Interface to access projects in the Capital database, create build lists, and run Design Rule Checks (DRCs) to validate the design and create Issues of reported DRC failures:

• Project Details — Select projects from the Capital database and display detailed information on the project, associated designs, and build lists.
• Designs — View the designs contained in a project and edit the attributes and user properties.
• Build Lists — Create build lists in the projects and include existing Capital designs, in combination with designs which have been synchronized into the Capital database via LD4TW.

System Administration

System Administrators can set up the following background tasks and plugins:

• Required DRCs to run.
• Synchronization tasks.
• Plugins:
  • Authentication.
  • User access.
  • User visibility to specific build lists, designs, and Issues.
  • Notification emails.
  • Plugin-driven build lists.
  • Details popup attributes and properties.
• Properties to display in the Project Details, Designs, Build lists, and Issues workflows.
• Setting up search criteria views for designs, build lists, and Issues.
• Custom search taggers for search criteria type.

System Administrators can select Permissions for specific user accounts in Capital Access Manager, and define Release Level Behaviors at the project level in Capital Project Manager.

Restriction: You can only transition build lists and Issues to the next available release level defined in Capital Project Manager.

Licensing Options

System Administrators can configure user accounts to assign the Capital Team Collaborator license, which controls availability of the Issues workflow and collaboration functionality. See also "License Policy" in the Capital Access Manager User Guide.

The system confirms that the following product license and the assigned Capital Team Collaborator license are available when you log in to Capital Teamwork, and enables the applicable functionality:

Launching Capital Teamwork

Capital Teamwork is a web-based application; however, you must also run the following Capital tools to start the application:

• Capital Manager
• Capital Integration Server

System Administrators can configure Capital Integration Server, third-party authentication servers, and the generalpreferences.json file to verify the identity of users from their existing login credentials. See "Enablement of Multi Factor Authentication Using OIDC" in the Capital Design Tools - Common Functions User Guide.

The Login page displays when you launch the application using your Capital Teamwork URL:

http://<Capital Integration Server Rest Server host>:<port on which Capital Integration Server is started>/teamwork/

Example (local host, port 49912):

http://localhost:49912/teamwork/

Tip: You can connect using "https"; however, you must configure the secured port on which Capital Integration Server is running.

The application opens with the Project Details workflow selected. The last project you worked on is selected automatically in the Project dropdown list, and the project information displays in the Details pane.

Application Interface

The Capital Teamwork web interface contains the following elements:

• Project Dropdown List — Displays all the projects you have access to in Capital Project Manager. You can choose a project to utilize at any point during the workflow.
• Navigation Pane — Lists the workflows used to access projects and manage your designs, build lists, and Issues. Select each workflow to display its details and available functions in the Details pane.
• Details Pane — Contains dropdown lists, tabs, and action icons used to run tasks on your projects, designs, and build lists in each workflow.
• Privacy Policy, Language, Help, and User Profile:
  • Privacy Policy — Opens the privacy policy of your company. See "System Preferences Dialog Box" in the Capital Project Manager User Guide to specify the Privacy Policy URL in the Paths node. The icon is unavailable if the URL is not configured.
  • Help — The Help icon linked from ...\teamwork\generalpreferences.json opens the Capital Teamwork User Guide on the Siemens Support Center by default, or can be configured to open a version hosted in internal support documentation for your organization:
    • Siemens Support Center: ""
    • Internal support documentation: "URL to the HTML or PDF hosted on your web server"
    • See also the Siemens Help Server Installation Guide on the Support Center.
  • User Profile — Displays the username logged into the Capital Teamwork session, and the option to log out.
