How can you tell if a part is a member of a part family from team center without opening it with NX?

Hello,
The question is relatively simple. How can I tell a part is a member of a part family just from the part in team center?

A family member is only adaptable from within the template, so if you open the part you will notice that it is Read-Only. Visible in the top bar of your NX screen.

Best regards,

Michaël.

Family members folder is automatically created for the parent of the part family.
Members I'm not sure if they have a relation back to the parent.

The other way around you can determine the parent for a family member by using either the where referenced in Impact analysis. or (as shown in attached picture) the relationbrowser and select the
predecessor relation.

But of course for this you need to already know the item is a family member. Strangely enough that relation isn't directly shown in TC.
