Where used - show descriptions?
Hello
When I click 'where used' on a part, I see the part number and revision where it's used in each higher-level assembly.
It would be super useful to see the description (name) at the same time.

Hi community,
has anyone ever found a way to customize the standard "Where Used" feature? The keyed_name solutions some kind of works, but it still adds Aras ootb revision scheme (which doesn´t fit the revision schema I actually use). And adding the property "name" to the "keyed_name" is also not something to recommend.
I discovered that WhereUsed behavior is mainly influenced by the flimsy "getItemWhereUsed" function which is unfortunately a core feature.
Any ideas?
Hello, @Angelap, Did you find a way to "customize" the "Where Used"?.
Reading this post, they indicate, I think, how to do it, but I don't see the "keyed name order" column in my Itemtypes. I don't know if my version of ARAS is another or I don't know...
Hi Meupe,
I think your post were blocked by the spam filter some time ago.
So far I don´t think we can customize the ootb "where used".
Regarding keyed_name and just meant the regular keyed_name properties in the itemtype. But it´s not the best solutions to edit the keyed_names just to get a more detailed WhereUsed view. The keyed_names are used in multiple ways, so it´s not a good solution to add long properties like "name" to them.
One workaround is to use a custom TGV for a WhereUsed view.

Hello Angela, yes, i was blocked by spam filter, for a weeks............
Thanks, I already found the "keyed_name", but it makes a little mess in the searches and so on, it is not a viable option.
I have read a lot about the use of TGV, but unfortunately in my version of ARAS (11 sp9) it was not implemented yet. I am struggling in the company to see if they update at once to the latest version of ARAS, since our version is very old and there are many new things when it comes to programming that we could use.
In these weeks of "ban", many doubts/problems have arisen, but since I couldn't write in the forum........... I'll ask them!!, :)
Too many thanks!!!!
