I have a requirement where I have to sign-out multiple files which at first need to be searched in Adept. Is there any way wherein multiple files names can be entered and searched in Adept?
Unfortunately, there isn't a way to list multiple file names. It will be great if we can list multiple filenames and separate them by comma.
However, You can "Append to previous search" (+ button) in the Search card. This way you can get your results in 1 search leaf (this is your goal, correct?)
Your search tree will look like in the picture below.
My first search was 1040
Then 1040 OR 1111
and so on
You might want to save your search once you get your desired result; (otherwise you will have to recreate it again )
You can accomplish this using the Data Importer plugin and
specifying to only do a search based on what is in a spreadsheet. You will need
to setup mapping between the spreadsheet and an Adept data field. You can save
the settings as a mapping file and also save a preconfigured spreadsheet to add part
numbers or file names into.
You can look at the Adept user guide for details on
how to use the Data Importer plugin and I have also attached a PDF file outlining how
to use it. I and several of our users here have used this method in the past for
searching up multiple parts and it works well. I hope this helps.
@Andrew.Hallas is correct. THe data importer is your best bet, if you already know the filenames you need, just paste them into a column on the spreadsheet and when you run Data Importer, select the option to place files in your Search Results window.
