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
A new Catalog part needs to be created to change any other information, e.g., exchanging the 3d file or changing the material.
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
Labels that are visible for the Catalog Administrators 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 |
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.
