Why are some attributes not searchable in Advanced Search?

[KNielsen]

Version: Windchill 12.0

Use Case: My Organization would like to be able to make audits for different teams. But we cannot find a smart way to filter out/find relevant Changes to do the audit. How come that some system attributes are searchable, when others are not? Can you make attributes searchable in Advanced Search? If Yes, How??

Description:

When we try to do an Advanced search on Change Notice, we have the option to set Criteria on Created By and Created On.

But we cannot use Team Name as a Filter, which would be very helpful in our organization.

Is there some way to configure the system so it possible?

Hi @KNielsen 

Here are examples, how to add attributes to the advanced search that are not available OOTB. 

CS368732 - How to add the Markup type as a searchable object

cs180432 - How to make additional attributes available as search criteria in the "Advanced Search" UI

in the case is a markup but in your case you should use your attributes.
