Creating and Using PDM Labels
Creating and Using SOLIDWORKS PDM Labels
SOLIDWORKS PDM Labels are used to add a note to a version of a file. The labels can then be used in searches as well as adding information to a file’s history without creating a new version.
Note: Labels are only available in SOLIDWORKS PDM Professional.
Add Label
To add a label, in the SOLIDWORKS PDM Local Vault View, select one or more files or folders. From the Modify pull-down menu, select Label…
Label Details
In the dialog box, enter a Name for the label and then add a Comment for the label. Comments are not required but are useful to include detailed information.
Sub-Folders
When applying labels from the folder, labels can be added to sub-folders and files contained within the sub-folder by selecting the Recursive option.
Labels in History
Once created, labels are visible and can be modified from the file’s history. To delete a label, select the label in the history dialog and then click Delete Label from the main menu bar.
Labels in Search Results
Labels can also be used to search for files and folders by using the Label tab of the Complete Search tool.
Note the search option ‘Also look in the label comment’ as well as options to search labels made by specific users and between dates.
