NER’s sponsorship contract with Altium includes all of Altium 365 Professional, including their integrated cloud-based data management system. This page will elaborate on how users can find and access data.

CONTENTS

Normal Access

These are the panels typically used when working on schematics and layout, after components have already been added to the library. These panels are simplified for quick and simple access.

The Explorer

The explorer panel is the complete view of all assets in the cloud. This view allows for more direct control and organization, but can be more confusing.

Library Health

See image above.

This “folder” searches the component library for all issues with components. The color scheme identifies severity of the issue.

The first column, “Supply Chain”, reports how easily components can be acquired. The second, “Component Details”, reports on errors made when creating and organizing components. The third, “Duplicates”, reports on duplicate components. The fourth, “Models”, reports on components that use bad footprints or symbols (typically outdated or deleted).

Generally, you can figure out what each category does by just reading the description.

Supply Chain

We primarily just care about “No Defined Part Choices” as this is required to allow Altium ActiveBOMs to work. The other two errors have to do with acquisition of parts, which is more applicable when making boards in massive volumes, which we do not do.

Component Details

These are all important categories.

Duplicates

These are all important categories.

Models

These are all important categories.
