How to define a default Advanced Search?

Hi all,

 

By default , "advanced search" is set with basic attributes Number and Name.

I would like to add few other attributes by default.

How can we do that?

I try to find a way to do it since a while, without to have to use "save search".

I find this this old topic (see picture attached) but no answer to this issue.

 

Thanks a lot in advance!

Hi Jonathan,

 

Check this knowledge article out:

 

How to make additional attributes available as search criteria in the "Advanced Search" UI in Windchill PDMLink

I suspect you are probably looking for something like this, so that you don't have to save your own search, and look for it, to get your desired attributes.

What exactly do you want to use?

I created two new global attributes (called Product Code and Product Category) that I use for Mechanical Part and MCAD Document.

It's these attributes that I want to add in the Advanced Search.

When I open the Advanced Search window, I want to have the criteria Name, Number, Product Code and Product Category ready to be used without to have to select them.
