Manufacturing Resource Library dashboard

Use the Manufacturing Resource Library (MRL) dashboard to access various classified resources such as tools, machines, fixtures, and other content.

Resources on the MRL dashboard include:

  • Factory Resources

  • Fixtures and Devices

  • Machines

  • Machining Data Library

  • Measuring Devices

  • New Resources

  • Templates

  • Tools

  • Vendor Catalogs

The MRL dashboard includes a bar graph that shows the number of resources by resource type.

Use filters to limit the number of resources shown.

The MRL dashboard includes resources that you can view as a list, as a table, or as images.

Note

When you display the table view, you can sort the resource and attribute columns by clicking a column header.

You can open a resource by clicking Open next to the resource name.

These attribute columns appear in the MRL Work Area by default:

  • Name

  • Description

  • Release Status

  • Checked-Out

  • ID

  • Revision

  • In Process

  • Classified in

  • Checked-Out By

These attribute columns do not appear in the MRL dashboard by default:

  • Alias ID

  • Alternate ID

  • Smart Discovery Indexed

Note

You can sort the resource columns by these attributes. You can also click Settings, and then select Arrange to choose the columns to display.

For more information on the MRL dashboard, see Content work mode in Work modes in object pages.
