Navigate - how to configure search to only return latest released objects

Hello,

 

I'm struggling to configure Navigate to only return latest released objects, and hoping someone here knows a solution. I'm using a Saved Search in Windchill with the following criteria:

 

Iteration = Latest

Revision = Latest

State = Released

 

Running this search in Windchill with input of "*TEST*" returns 4 files all latest released which is correct. The same search in Navigate however, results in 7 files including some (not all) older versions of the 4 files. Expectations are that I get the same search results when using the exact same input and Saved Search between Windchill and Navigate.

 

What's odd is that, if I run a search in Navigate without any wildcards, using the exact Number or Name, then I get the correct result, the latest released file. Seems like older versions are included in the search result when using a wildcard character and/or when there's more than one file that matches criteria. I have attached pptx file that shows the setup and other search options that didn't work.

 

Any help is greatly appreciated!

I confirm the issue has been resolved with Windchill Extension 1.9.1, which did require an upgrade to Navigate 1.7.

One thing that occurs to me is that wildcard searches in Windchill are handled differently than non-wildcard searches, so differences between the results of the two searches were to be expected.

You can create your own custom search via REST. Or use Infoengine. I like the REST way.

Hi Preeti,

 

Thanks for your reply. I'm very new to this so would like some insight on the custom REST search. My understanding is that I would create a Thing with a Service that utilizes REST APIs to perform the desired search. If this is correct, is it possible to use this Service in the existing Navigate Apps to get the desired search results, or would I have to re-create each App in order to utilize this Service? It seems like the OOTB Mashups, Things, and Services are not editable so the later would be the case.

I see this is the issue in Case C14075427. I think the PTC effort will be focused there, and when we find an answer we will post it here for the Community.
