Ideas for Search
How to search for items belonging to an object type by providing inputs as attributes of it’s child’s objects? I understand standard Agile functionality doesn’t allow it.
You can accomplish this by enabling the appropriate BOM “read-through” fields that you want to use in your search criteria.
For example – lets say I want to find parent items that contain children with a Secondary UOM of “EA”.
– For this scenario ‘Secondary UOM’ is a Part Page Two attribute (Page Two.List01).
A Where-Used search would be sufficient to return all parent item types, but if I only want specific item types returned – I need to make the ‘Secondary UOM’ field visible on the BOM tab.
Admin -> Data Settings -> Classes -> Parts -> User Interface Tabs -> *locate and enable “Item List01” (this can be renamed, but use caution as it may be something different for Documents)
Once “Secondary UOM” (or Item List01) is available on the BOM tab – I can use it in my advanced search criteria:
Items – Parts – Object Search
Subclass – In – [whichever subclass(es) you want returned] – AND
(BOM) Item List01 – In – [parts]EA
I hope that all makes sense.
I’d suggest checking out the Where-Used search options before making too many configuration changes. After reading the question again and checking the attachment – I think I might have been reading into this too much and a where-used search may be sufficient for your requirement. The read-through option just provides more granularity as you can then use attributes from both the parent and child objects for your input criteria.
Unfortunately – the read-through option doesn’t work for Page 3 item attributes.
You still should be able to run a where-used search using the child page 3 fields as your input criteria, but only for one item subclass at a time. If you needed results based on page 3 inputs of multiple item types – you will probably have to run separate searches, export, and then run some manual lookups to tie them together.
