Load a saved search

Teamcenter saves the search in a SearchStructureContext object that includes a saved configuration. If you load a saved search, the configuration in effect at the time of storage is also loaded.

Procedure

Do one of the following:

Load a recently used search.

 
  In the Structure Search view, click the down arrow beside the Open Search
   .
  Teamcenter displays the most recently used searches.
 
 
  Select one of the searches listed.
  Teamcenter displays the Open Saved Search dialog box where you can specify load options.
 



Load a search not recently used.

 
  In the Structure Search view, click Open Search
   .
  Teamcenter opens the Open Saved Search dialog box listing all the saved search objects belonging to you. The Revision Rule, Variant Rule and Effectivity Group columns show the information of the primary structure (for example, in the case of a process structure where configurations of composition structures are also stored).
  If you want to see the saved searches belonging to other users, select Show searches shared by other users.
 
 
  (Optional) View the detailed configuration of a search object by right-clicking it in the list of searches and choosing Show Configuration.
  The resulting Configuration dialog box shows the configuration of all composition structures associated with the primary structure.
 
 
  (Optional) Filter the list of searches by clicking .
 
 
  (Optional) Click the arrow beside the Change your view button  and select the format in which you want to display the saved searches. The tree view allows you to display the folders that you create in the Save Search dialog box, and the table view displays all the searches in list form.

Select a load option.

Load search criteria only
Loads only search definitions so you can reuse a complex definition on a different structure or scope. If the criteria includes the proximity search (and, therefore, a proximity part, which is structure dependent), you must have the same structure open to load the proximity part; otherwise, Teamcenter ignores the proximity criteria.


Load search criteria and scope
Loads the search definitions and the original search scope so you can re-execute the search and to display refreshed results.


Load search criteria, scope and results
Loads everything that is available in the saved search (scopes, definitions, and results). This option is selected by default. If the object selected in the table does not have results stored, Teamcenter loads only the search criteria and scope by default.

Click OK.

Teamcenter loads the object including those parameters that you specified. The loaded structure lines represent the current state of the structure. These may differ from the lines that were saved with the object. Consider these situations:

If structure line properties or occurrence notes were changed after saving, the new values of the properties or occurrence notes are displayed in the loaded results. You do not receive any indication about changed values or inconsistent results.


If the item revision was changed after saving the results and the Latest Working revision rule is set, the new revision is displayed. You do not receive any indication about changed item revision or inconsistent results.


If the structure line was deleted or moved to other place after saving, the saved BOM line is loaded in the results. Teamcenter displays information about inconsistent results in a tooltip on the result tab. You must then update the saved search.



If changes include a later revision of the top-line item,Teamcenter considers the structure to be the same structure and tries to find all the search result lines in the structure.
