A Catalog of published parts is accessible both from the Service Panel as well as from the User Panel. For the documentation of the Catalog in the User Panel, see https://3yourmind.atlassian.net/l/c/Q0iL2XFJ.
Creating a Quote or an Order with a Catalog item
In the Service Panel, it is possible to create quotes or orders and to include an item from the Catalog.
In the Service Panel, open the Catalog
Find the part you want to add to a quote or an order
Click on the part to see the part details
To include the part into…
… a quote, click Add to Quote
… an order, click Add to Order
Subsequently, the Create Quote or Create Order form opens with the Catalog part already loaded.
The following information is transferred from the Catalog part to the Create Quote or Create Order form:
STL file
Material
Post-processing(s)
Part requirements
Attachments
Adding Parts to the Catalog
Parts can be added to the Catalog in several ways. These parts can then be ordered from the catalog by customers in the user panel.
To add parts to the Catalog, users need to be Catalog Administrators.
Adding parts from the Basket
Go to the User Panel
Upload the model to be stored
Select a material and optionally post-processing(s)
(If multiple Services are configured) Choose a Service
Click Add to Catalog at the end of the process.
The part will be stored automatically in the Catalog with the selected settings and will be visible to the whole organization and ready to be ordered. The following information is transferred to the Catalog:
STL file
Material
Post-processing(s) (optional)
Service
Part requirements (optional)
Attachments (optional)
Each Catalog part can be additionally described in its Description field by the catalog contributor. With the search bar, you can quickly find any keywords/categorization in the description field.
Adding ordered parts to the Catalog
In the Service Panel, go to the order list
Open an order to go to the order detail page
Click Publish part
The part will be added to the Catalog with the configuration in which the part was ordered.
Please note that after adding to the Catalog, these parts are available to all your customers via the Catalog option in the user panel.
Editing Catalog Parts
To update parts in the Catalog, users need to be Catalog Administrators.
The following information can be updated per Catalog part:
Description
Adding or removing attachments
Labels
Part reference #
Attachments
For changing any other information, e.g exchanging the 3d file o changing the material, a new Catalog part needs to be created.
To avoid the accidental assigning of labels from the wrong customer group: if a part belongs to Customer Group A, when a Catalog admin assigns labels, the suggested labels should only be from:
Public parts
Parts from Customer Group A
Using Labels for Part Classification
Using Labels, Catalog admins can replicate an organization’s existing part classification system.
Example:
Downhole equipment → Impeller
Downhole equipment → Valve
Labels can be created on-the-fly.
Which labels are visible for the catalog admin when editing/creating catalog parts?
Group A selected | Group B selected | No group selected | |
---|---|---|---|
“Public“ label | |||
“Group A“ label | |||
“Group B“ label | |||
“Group A“ + “Group B“ label | |||
“Group A“ + “Public” label | |||
“Group B“ + “Public” label |
