Getting started > Searching for resources
Using relational operators
Use the following relational operators to perform Classification attribute searches:
| Relational operator | Definition | For example, if you type |
|---|---|---|
| = | Equal to | = 3.0 in the Corner Radius attribute box of the Taper Shank End Cutter subclass, all resources within the subclass with a corner radius equal to 3.0 are found. You can achieve the same behavior by typing a number. If no value is given after the equal sign, the system searches for all instances where no value is set for the attribute. Note If you want to find an entry that contains the character that Teamcenter uses as the wildcard character (for example, ), enter = and the string containing the character for which you are searching, such as = shaft01. This search finds shaft*01, not shafts01, or shaft101, or shaft201. |
| > | Greater than | > 3.0 in the Corner Radius attribute box of the Taper Shank End Cutter subclass, all resources within the subclass with a corner radius greater than 3.0 are found. |
| < | Less than | < 3.0 in the Corner Radius attribute box of the Taper Shank End Cutter subclass, all resources within the subclass with a corner radius less than 3.0 are found. |
| >= | Greater than or equal to | >= 3.0 in the Corner Radius attribute box of the Taper Shank End Cutter subclass, all resources within the subclass with a corner radius greater than or equal to 3.0 are found. |
| <= | Less than or equal to | <= 3.0 in the Corner Radius attribute box of the Taper Shank End Cutter subclass, all resources within the subclass with a corner radius less than or equal to 3.0 are found. |
| != | Not equal to | != 15.00 in the Diameter attribute box, all resources with a diameter not equal to 15.00 are found. If no value is given after the equal sign, the system searches for all instances where any value is set for the attribute. |
| ~ | Like | ~ Walt* in the Vendor attribute box of a class, all resources within that class beginning with Walt, such as Walter, Waltmann, or Walthouse are found. |
| !~ | Not like | !~ Walt* in the Vendor attribute box of a class, all resources within that class except for those beginning with Walt are found. |
| – | Range | 10.00 – 20.00 in the Diameter attribute box, all resources with a diameter within the range of 10.00 to 20.00 (including the values 10.00 and 20.00) are found. A blank space must precede and follow the hyphen. |
| OR | ||
| “” | Exact string | “blue or green”, Teamcenter searches for the string blue or green. If you type “4 – 10”, Teamcenter searches for the string 4 – 10, not the range 4–10. Note You cannot use exact string relational operators in combination with other relational operators. |
| & | AND | blue & green, Teamcenter searches for strings that contain at least one instance of both the string blue and the string green. |
Note
You cannot use relational operators when searching for attributes with multiple values. You can only use the equal and wildcard operators.
Wildcard characters are permissible for string attributes only.
