The creation process is very similar for both wizards. The following description refers to a search wizard [Search assistant].

  1. In PARTproject under Edit project, select the General tab page and then under Project type, select Search wizard [Search Assistant].

  2. Create the variables SEARCHPATH and SEARCH in PARTdesigner in the variable manager [Variable Manager], create the variables SEARCHPATH and SEARCH. These must be present.

    • SEARCHPATH: Normally search path is catalog name.

      This value is later displayed in the PARTdataManager in the input field of the full text search [Full-text search].
