The Search Application in Beast Core 6 provides component metadata search results either in an abbreviated (but expandable) display in the left-hand content pane or in a columned table format on the main screen.

Component Search Results - Display Differences

The table below details how component search results display differently when the Search application is open in the left-hand content pane than when open on the main screen.

Left-Hand Content Pane

Main Screen

  • Shows only the system name (bold, top level label) and component name (faded, lower level label) metadata

  • Shows all relevant metadata in a columned table format

    • Displays a horizontal scroll bar if data exceeds the

      size of the window

      (see the arrow in the above screenshot)

  • Displays Ellipsis buttons and select boxes on the right-hand side

    (underlined in the above screenshot)

  • Displays the select boxes and Ellipsis buttons (in reverse

    order) on the left-hand side

    (underlined in the above screenshot)

NOTE

To expand this pane:

  • Hover over the right edge of the content pane until a new vertical blue line appears

  • Click and drag this blue line toward the right

  • Shows a Load All button in the lower right corner if no

    select box is checked

    • Or, a Load Selected button when at least one

      select box is checked

NOTE

For convenience, the search results in the left-hand content pane can be displayed alongside any other Beast Core application’s content on the main screen.

  • This allows you to view a given search result (e.g., 3D component or document) while also seeing other available search results
