Preview available attribute values

You can activate a filter that allows you to preview those attribute values available in the currently selected class. This is especially useful when you are searching as you can select an existing value and search for it.

Note

The autofilter is not displayed for reference attributes.

Procedure

1. Select a class in the classification hierarchy. Teamcenter displays the attributes in the Properties pane.

2. Click the Autofilter button.Teamcenter displays the List of Values dialog box containing a list of attribute values stored for this attribute. When you search, all attribute values stored for this attribute are displayed, provided you have not yet set any other attribute values. As you constrain your search criteria by setting other attribute values, the List of Values dialog box only shows the attribute values that are valid given the current search criteria (helping you efficiently narrow your search and choose valid values that will find classified objects). The attribute preview indicates whether the value is stored as a metric or nonmetric unit.

3. Do one of the following:

   Select a value and click OK.

   Teamcenter closes the List of Values dialog box
    and populates the attribute value box with the selected value.
   
   
   Note 
    If you are in search mode and use the autofilter on string attributes, Teamcenter places the value in quotation marks. This way, you can use dashes
     inside the attribute values, and they are not interpreted as a range.
   

   Click Clear.

   Teamcenter closes the List of Values dialog box
    and removes any value that was in the attribute value box.
   

   Click Cancel.

   Teamcenter closes the List of Values dialog box
    without making any changes to the attribute value box.
