From the Favorites Pane, expand the
Enovia Sourcing node, select Classification Browser,
right-click, and select Add to Navigator from the shortcut
menu. Category Browser is added to the
Relationship Navigator window.
-
In the Relationship Navigator: Category Browser
window, you can
expand the category nodes to display all the child categories that exist
beneath the main category in two different ways. By clicking the
relationship node, you can select to display the category's children by
clicking the OK button, or by clicking the
node, you can expand all the child objects individually - one level at a
time.
-
Each of these nodes are called Categories,
and they contain item and company information that exist within your
organization, and that are categorized into logical divisions based on
your company's internal process. For example, you may categorize
nuts and bolts into a category called "fasteners", and then further
define that category by creating sub-categories that specify size and
thread specifications. You can continue to expand each category
manually until you reach your destination. You can also search on
the listed categories.
-
To search on the listed categories, select a node in the
category tree, right-click, and select Search Category from
the shortcut menu. The Advanced Access window
appears.
-
In the Advanced Access window, you can filter
your search by defining the criteria of the displayed attributes.
The attributes displayed will change based on the leaf of the category
that you select for your search. Each category leaf inherits its
attributes from its parent leaf, therefore, the further you drill down
into the categories when conducting your search, the more attributes
that will be available in the Advanced Access window.
-
Notice that you also have the capability to conduct your
search on either the selected category (in this example, the Audio
category), or you can choose to conduct your search on all the
categories listed by selecting the All Category option.
For this scenario, allow the search to remain in the Audio
category. Define your search by adding criteria in the attribute
fields, and click the Search button to conduct the search.
The Search Results window appears with all items that
belong to the selected category that match the defined criteria.
-
Select the item that you want to view in Category
Browser from the Search Results window, right-click,
and select Add to Navigator from the shortcut menu.
The item is added to Category Browser.
-
Now that the object is visible in the Relationship
Navigator window, notice that you can obtain all the property
information about the object by simply hovering over the object with
your mouse. A window will appear that will display all the
properties of the object.
