"All Properties" Search in Vault

"All Properties" Search in Vault

(OP)
Hello

When searching the vault for "all properties" "contains", what properties does it actually look for? We've decided to add some custom properties to our parts to make them easier to find, but it doesn't seem to find them.

RE: "All Properties" Search in Vault

It should find the CP's.

One note: make sure when searching the vault you select the very top server folder "My Vault". If select a assy, part or drawing, it's only going to search that. See attached

Are the properties configuration specific? There's an extra check box in the dialog to make those searchable.

And now I feel like an idiot for not mentioning this sooner. Has your vault admin added the new properties to the Properties tab in the admin tool? PDMWorkgroups won't index the new properties without that.

Ahhhh! star for that one

RE: "All Properties" Search in Vault

DekkerDesign,
    Thank you for the information on adding a new property to the Properties tab in the admin tool to use in the search tool. Never dreamed of this, although I have added properties.
Another star for you.
