Content Page for a Route

This page lists the content of any route that you created or that you are included in. Workspace Leads can list content for a route in the workspace, if they are a member of the route. The Content page lists all the items added to the route. If you use the VPM Program Central integration, VPLM Tasks can be added as Route content.

The route creator can define the content of a route at any point up until the route is Finished. Route members with Add access to the route can add content from the workspace, and members with Remove access can remove content as needed until the route is Finished. Members who have access can add content from a local directory.

To access this page:


  1. View the Properties page for the needed route. See Route Properties Page.
  2. From the page toolbar for the route, click Categories > Content.
