Most mass operations as well as the work list, support an object search over the extended search, which provides a more flexible and more specific data selection. Also searching by valuation from the classification is possible.
For the creation of a work list, the extended search will always be used . For some mass operation it can be used manually. If provided, it will be displayed as follows.
The following search functions are available for the different objects.
Documents:
Standard DMS document search (CV04N)
Search files in documents (search via attributes of document originals)
Saved ProMassOperations selections
Saved ProPLMClient selections
Material:
Standard search help
Saved ProMassOperations selections
Saved ProPLMClient selections
Change master:
Standard search help
Saved ProPLMClient selections
When using the extended search for mass operations, the selections criteria from the selection screen of the according program will have no influence. But key fields which are relevant for a operation will always be interpreted.
Example:
Mass function „Change person responsible in documents": Only document info records will be used, which match the field „Previous person responsible".
Mass function „Migration Document types": Only documents with corresponding source document type will be selected.
Mass function for characteristics: All fields of action parameters will be used.
For back ground processing the extended search help is not available. An extended search for background jobs requires the implementation of customer exits, if available. See also document ProAdmin Customizing Manual.
