Filter List from Part Classification

Hi,

instead of classification field in the PART item type, if we want to define subtypes in a separate field in the PART form how can we configure the filter list?

For example, we have component types as Capacitors, Resistors, etc. For Capacitors, we have a detailed subtype list and we want to define them as filter list.

thank you

    Yes, it is possible using filter list and we have implemented similar things earlier.

    Thank You

        Hi Duygu

        Step 1: Create a list name Subclass

        Step 2: In Filter Value tab in Subclass list, add label, name and filter value  (Example : Name: Resistor Subclass Label Resistor Subclass Filter Value : Resistor)

        Step 3: Create a property named Subclass in Part item type with data type Filter List. Select data source as Subclass list and Pattern as Classification

        Step 4: Save, unlock and close the Item Type

        Step 5: Open Part form and add the Subclass field

        Step 6: Save, unlock and close the form

        If you want to use different data source other than classification, then you need to create a property (in this case, component with data source list and give it as pattern for subclass)

        Thanks
