- Current directory (<Name of selected directory>)
- Current catalog (<Catalog name of selected directory>)
  
  In this exemplary figure the catalog displayed under "Search in" would not be changed when changing from DIN to ISO in the index tree.
The value under Search in is changing analogously to selected directory/catalog in index tree. As long as searching within a directory or catalog, there is no change under Search in. That means, searching always concerns the directory/catalog selected in the index tree. Only if changing the directory or catalog, the new selection is set under Search in.
You may also select a number of directories or catalogs. Multiple selection with Ctrl key.
Fixed selection:
- Fix directory (<Name of selected directory>)
- Fix catalog (<Catalog name of selected directory>)
Fixed selection is useful for example, if the search part is in another catalog than the parts to be searched or if it's clear that this directory or catalog will be used next times.
The fixation concerns the selected directory or catalog when setting the list field option.
The display under Search in remains unchanged, when changing selection in index tree. Only when changing the selection in the list field, the fixation is changed or overwritten.
In Custom selection...
You can create your own templates, so that these are immediately available again at a later time. For example, you can create a template where only certain preferred catalogs will be searched.
In addition you can specify a Default selection, which is automatically displayed in the list field under Search in when starting PARTdataManager.
See Section 3.1.6.2, “ Custom selection... ”.
