Apply a revision rule

You can apply revision rules to searches. This narrows down the number of search results so that Teamcenter returns only the revisions you require. You can control the default behavior of the revision rules with the following preferences:

• ICS_search_default_revision_rule_Sets the default revision rule for the specified application.

• ICS_search_use_revision_ruleEnables or filters out revision rules for classification searches.
