Add record to the [Add dataset to link database] link database or Add to [Add to link database] link database

...calls up the New Ident Number [new ident-no.] window.

Note The input fields can be enhanced, so that they may look different as shown in above figure.[a] If a second user attempts to add a new number (on the same line or another), an error message appears. So the user can check, if a part's new creation is really necessary or if the already existing is sufficient. Example from PARTdataManager: User 1 has added an ERP number for table row 136. User 2 wants to add a number for another row (or the same). -> An error message is displayed. Solution: The table has to be reloaded that the real state is displayed. Example in 3Dfindit: The process is identic in principle. However, in 3Dfindit, the table is automatically reloaded. Example in 3Dfindit: Error message Duplicate check If a user attempts to add another characteristic on an existing row (with number), depending on administrative settings a respective message appears, which serves to avoid the creation of a possible duplicate. In principle, the use of an already existing characteristic may be ok, because, for example, another surface or material shall be chosen. Which fields are involved in the check depends on administrative settings. In the case of more fundamental errors, such as during export, the following message may also be displayed:

[a] Administrative information on this can be found in the Section 4.11, “ Design "New ident number " dialog box - erpcustom.cfg -> Block [USERDIALOG] ” in ENTERPRISE 3Dfindit (Professional) - Administration.

Add dataset to link database (variant)

Choose a data set, which is the very next to the variable to be changed.

After clicking the button, the Create variant window opens.

All variables of the component are listed.

In this example L has been set from value 130 to 135.

The New ident number [new ident-no.] dialog then appears as for Add record to link database [Add dataset to link database] (see above).

As a result, the created variant is also displayed in the PARTdataManager is displayed.

When variants are created, possibly these are not sorted correctly in PARTdataManager (see fig. above). However you can determine the scheme of sorting for the currently opened project in a special dialog. So a manual editing of the PRJTABLE is not necessary. On this see under Section 3.1.11.13, “Line sorting in PARTdataManager ”.

Set sort order for this project:

On this see under Section 3.1.11.13, “Line sorting in PARTdataManager ”.

This function controls both the display of catalogs, directories and projects in the index tree and the display of characteristics in the table.

The search results are also filtered when the button is activated. These must also comply with the preferred series condition when the button is activated.

After activating the Preferred rows On/Off [Preferred rows on/off] button, a) only "green" rows [Preferred rows on/off] are displayed^[103] Catalogs, directories and projects are displayed and b) only rows that have an entry in a defined column (this is often the column for the article number). In other words, only green rows are displayed in the table. The red rows are hidden.^[104]

Information on defining the condition can be found under Section 4.7.4.1.2, “ Preferred series - plinkgroups.cfg -> Block [Role_name] -> Key "PREFRANGE" ” in ENTERPRISE 3Dfindit (Professional) - Administration

Note You can combine the filtering with a search! If the filter is activated, then the search concerns only parts, which have not been filtered!
