Component Search Results - Display Differences

Prev Next

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.

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

Search Results - Content Pane vs. Main Screen

Search results display differently when the Search app is open in the left-hand content pane than when it is open on the main screen.

Left-hand Content Pane Display

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

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

NOTE

To enlarge the content pane’s window:

  • Hover your mouse over the right side of the pane until a solid blue line appears

  • Click and drag the blue line to the right

Main Screen Display

  • Shows all relevant data in a columned table format

  • Displays the select boxes and Ellipsis buttons on the left and in reverse order (compared to the content pane)

  • Displays a horizontal scroll bar if returned data exceeds the size of the window (see left arrow in above image)

  • Shows a button in the lower right corner if no select box is checked (see right arrow in above image)

    • Or, displays a button when at least one select box is checked
