Search Conventions

Wild Card

The asterisk is the wild card symbol (*). It represents one or more characters not specifically identified in the search string, enabling you to search for multiple objects (Parts, ECs, etc.) with a single definition, or to search using only a partial name.

For example,

m*	finds items that begin with m.
de*	finds items that start with d and end with e.
*23	finds items that end with 23.

Question Mark

A question mark holds the place of a single character.

For example, enter seven question marks in a search/find field (???????), and ENOVIA returns results with exactly seven characters. If you do not know the number of characters, consider using the wild card (*).

Comma

A comma can be used to search for multiple criteria at one time, such as part numbers. Do NOT use spaces between the comma and search criteria.

For example: 1100459,1100856,1100845

Hints:

If you do not specify an attribute, leave the value blank or use the wild card (*). ENOVIA will return all possible results.
If you specify a search with more than one attribute, ENOVIA will search for objects that meet all of them; that is, it will perform an AND operation, rather than an OR operation.
Search criteria conventions can be used in combination with each other.
