Some customers prefer always searching with activated filters at first.

The search filters can be activated as default via vbs scripting.^[198]

After successful execution of the script the user interface should look like this:

Here is a short example to set the filter. The vbb file has to be saved under $CADENAS_SETUP/scripts/partdatamanager/autoexec.

Codeset SearchView = application.ViewSearch

set indexSearch = SearchView.CreateObject("IndexSearch")

set filter = IndexSearch.AddSearchObject("filter")
filter.filterLines =true
filter.filterNodes = true

SearchView.CopySearchParameters(indexSearch) 

A detailed example on effective usage of the filter options is found under Section 3.1.11.2.2, “ Use preferred rows filter ” in PARTsolutions - User manual.
