Restriction of content using preferred series filters
If framework agreements exist with certain suppliers and corresponding parts have already been created in the ERP and/or PDM, then it makes sense to guide users (more or less restrictively) so that they prefer to use purchased parts from precisely these suppliers.
The user has
the ability to display parts in 3Dfindit
via the preferred row filter 
(off) / 
(on). See Section 8.1.1, “Functionality from the user's perspective”.
The configuration takes place in PARTadmin. See Section 8.1.2, “Administrative setup of the functionality”.

The preferred row filter is role-dependent. It can be set for certain persons (groups) and not for others. For example, certain users can actively switch it on and off, for others it is fixed. In addition, the catalog selection can also be restricted, for example. Whether the preferred series filter is coupled with an export restriction can also be freely determined depending on the role. A detailed description of all role settings can be found at Chapter 7, Configure roles - Details . The icons used in this example are exemplary. They can be customized as desired. Please also see Chapter 5, PLDBDEMO examples . | |
