Enter occurrence note search criteria
Click the ... button to the right of the Occurrence Notes box to search for specific occurrence note values.
Your administrator can define occurrence notes and associate them with particular structure lines. You can use these mapped occurrence notes as search criteria.
For example, a mapped occurrence note may contain an interior/exterior flag that indicates if a given part is used on the interior or exterior of the product. You could then search for all parts on the exterior of the product or, by refining the search with other criteria, for all exterior brackets.
Similarly, a mapped occurrence note may contain a number that references an illustration in the work instruction manual that describes how to assemble the part. You can search for all parts illustrated in the appropriate section of the manual.
