Find product views

Procedure

1. Open a product or process structure.

2. Select one or more products, processes, or operations from the structure as the scope of the search.

3. Choose Tools→Find Product Views or Find Product Views from the shortcut menu.

Teamcenter opens the Product View Search view that displays the scope that you selected and the search definitions.

4. (Optional) Change the scope at any time by selecting a new root and clicking .

5. Enter the search definitions by doing one of the following:

Navigate through the structure and select the required part for which you want to search and click . The view can remain open as you do this. If you selected a process or operation as the search scope, you can select parts that are assigned to these structures from their product structures, or vice versa. For the search to work correctly in this case, your administrator must set the value of the MECopyIdInContextToAssignedLine preference to True before you assign parts from the product structure to the process structure.

Click and type the ID or name of the part for which you want to search.

Teamcenter adds the part to the Parts list, showing the item revision symbol for parts that you select from the bill of process and the item symbol for parts whose ID you enter by hand. Caution When you search by ID, you search by item and not revision. Therefore, the search results will display all revisions associated with this item.

6. (Optional) Remove a part from the Parts list by selecting it and clicking Delete.

7. Click Search.

Teamcenter lists each search result in a separate line, displaying the process or operation to which it is attached as well as a thumbnail of the product view as you select the line. The Parts found in selected Product View list displays the searched parts found in the selected product view.

8. (Optional) Click Back to discard the search results and collapse the Search Results section. You can then modify the search criteria and rerun the search.
