If a material content does not yet exist in PLM, follow below steps to create new "Material Content."
Before Beginning: Ensure the material content DOES NOT YET EXIST IN PLM.
Steps to take:
Once you have checked to ensure the material content DOES NOT exist in PLM, follow below steps.
1. Click: Set Up
2. Click: Fields
3. Once in the "All Fields" section of PLM, utilize the search bar to help locate the field named "Material Content."
Then click the field named "Material Content."
4. Once you click "Material Content" you will be brought to the Material Content List page.
At this point, utilize the search bar to check once more if the material content you need exists.
*If the value of the material content is same as what you are planning on adding in, use what is there.
E.g. If the material content you need is 100% COTTON, do not add in another option that reads 100% COTTON.
Instead, utilize existing option. It is ok that the code is shared.
