Why

A team working on CATIA Magic may need to create numerous revisions and branches, making it crucial for users to select the correct project or data to work on. While many CATIA Magic users are familiar with the tree structures, they may not be aware of the advanced search features available on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.

What

This Technical Practice emphasizes the importance of knowing the project's location. Clients are familiar with the CATIA Magic tree structure but not server storage of the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. Optimizing search helps to open the correct project with the right dependencies.

Target Audience

Recommendation

  • The 3DEXPERIENCE platform creates different entries for each revision and branch. Ensure that you are selecting the correct branch and revisions while working on the CATIA Magic project from the search results.


  • For each W category, search results are grouped by subcategories. Click the arrow next to each W to focus the view on a specific subcategory.
For example, in the What tab, you can focus on a specific category of document.


In the Where tab, you can also focus the content specific to a continent or a country, by clicking the pinpoints on the Map view.

In the Who, When, and What tabs, when a category returns a large number of results, you can click View all Content to display a pagination and browse all the results from this category.
