About Standard Search

 

CES contains information about items, manufacturers, and suppliers.  This information can be used while designing or manufacturing a product.  CES supports the functionality to perform a Standard Search on the database to retrieve the required information.  Using Standard Search, you can search for manufacturers, suppliers, internal items, or companies by providing attribute data based on the type of information you need. Once you have defined your search criteria, you can also choose from a variety of views that you can apply to the Search Results window.

You can perform a Standard Search on:

  • Items: Manufacturer, Supplier, and Internal
  • Companies: Manufacturer, Supplier, and Internal

To specify the view for the search, you can select All Items, Manufacturer's Content, Supplier's Content, or Internal Content option made available in the Search Form list. Each of these views is defined on manufacturer items, supplier items, and internal items.
