Facet values in initial lookup searches

When you conduct an initial search in a lookup window, you can include this information:

  • Values for the primary entity
  • ID number of a facet entity

For example, to search for a threaded flange from vendor number 101, specify threaded flange 101 in the Search field in the Product Lookup window. The results that display in grid meet the criteria specified for the primary and facet entities. The facet entity is displayed in the corresponding field in the Facet Search section, and available for a facet search. If you did not include the facet entity ID in the initial search, the entity might not be available in the Facet Search section.

To include a facet entity in the initial search, an ID number must be associated with the facet entity. Some entities, such as Product Line, do not use an ID number.
