Redwood: Use a Saved Search for Work Definitions

Manufacturing engineers need an efficient way to save a search for work definitions that they commonly work on and update such as a group of items. The ability to quickly revisit a set of work definitions facilitates updates for completeness and change management scenarios. Now you can create and run a saved search for retrieving work definitions using the powerful index-based search engine combined with the Redwood user experience on the Work Definitions page.

• Create a library of saved searches - Search for work definitions using keywords and filters then create a search with a user-defined name for later use. Categorize the type of saved search as a system search, personal search, or personal shared search. Optionally make it a default saved search.
• Apply an existing saved search - Select an existing saved search to apply and quickly find work definitions that meet the search keywords and filters.
• Manage actions for an existing saved search - Use actions to save, save as, edit, or delete an existing search to efficiently implement change management scenarios.

You can create a saved search for work definitions based on keywords and filters and configure settings for sharing and defaulting it.

Applied Saved Search

Using a saved search reduces the time spent in finding work definitions that are frequently accessed or impacted by product and process changes.

Steps to Enable

• To use this feature, enable the Redwood Work Definitions Enabled profile option. 
• Refer the 24B feature - Search for, Create, and Edit a Standard Item Work Definition Using the Redwood User Experience.

Tips And Considerations

• You can search for and save a search of manufacturing work definitions for standard items and Assemble To Order model items in addition to discrete and process manufacturing work methods using the Redwood user experience. 
• You can manage a saved search of work definitions for a specific user and only using the UI.
• You can't restrict the data security access to work definitions through the saved search using the Redwood user experience at this time.
