Mike and Hugo...most of the time a system is setup by a VAR or consultant that doesn't have the background to recommend things like this. Their job is to get the company up and running as fast as possible and get on to the next job. We keep Number, Name, and File Name the same for no particular reason other than we were not told a benefit to having them different....NOT lazy, just uninformed at the time. So here is your chance to enlighten us with your experience. Currently we have two text description parameters that are pulled in to WC as attributes. How can changing the name from match to descriptive text help with search when we already have two sentences (attributes) in the system that are searched? The only one I can think of would be that the drawings would now be searchable with a text description (our drawings pull the parameters from the cad parts and assemblies, but do not have descriptions themselves.
