In this tab we will define all the search criteria (property, file type, configurations, etc...).

The list of criteria can be displayed as follows:

The proposed groups of criteria are fixed. It is not possible to remove or add criteria.

• Most of the criteria are "Full text" type fields. This means that you only have to fill in the value. The character "*"(joker) allows you to leave it blank.
• To scan files with one or more named properties, it is possible to select the names from a list.

Click on the icon   then select the name of the property from the list. This list is extracted from the properties contained in all the files in the database. By default, when you select several properties, the "OR" operator is used but it is possible, by checking the option, to use the "AND" operator. It is also possible to select a value among all the property values found in this database.

Repeat this process if you want to add more than one property.

To remove a property from the search criteria, simply select it and click on the icon .

So in this example only the files containing these 2 properties named with these values will be analyzed.

• Some properties may meet a particular criterion.

Example   : "Type of part" equal to "Mechanically welded".

Only welded parts will be analysed.

• Some properties are numeric and therefore it is possible to enter a number or a range of values.

Example : "The assemblies" of which "the number of components" is included "between 0 and 100 components".

  To reset all the criteria just right click on any criterion and select "New search".

  It is possible to search for missing information. For example, I want to search for all files that do not have the configuration named "Config1". In this case it is enough to put the character "!".

The advanced search criteria are displayed as follows:

Just click on the "Search"to start the analysis.
