Search for Reviews

You can search for reviews from the top bar.

In the top bar, in the search box, enter rvw: followed by a search string and press Enter.
Search results appear displaying a list of reviews that match the search criteria. For more details about searching for objects, see 3DEXPERIENCE Native Apps: Using the Bar: Semantic Search.

Explore Reviews

You can explore reviews.

  1. Right-click the required review object in the search results and select Explore.
    If the navigation experience is activated, the review is loaded under the Navigation Experience node in the Product Finder app.

    While exploring the review in the Product Finder app, all the pointed filters are checked. If any filters are broken, a warning message appears. You can either click Solve to update the filters or click Cancel to use the broken filters. For more information, see Product Finder User's guide: Using Persistent Filters: Update a Persistent Filter.

  2. Double-click the review node in the tree or double-click the review object in the 3D.
    The first level of the review is expanded. You can now see the review categories for which objects have already been defined.

    Note: In Product Finder Classic, a filtered object is not expandable in a review context (the filter icon indicates a filtered object).

Open Reviews

You can open reviews.

Right-click a review in the search results and select Open.
Depending on the preference set for opening the review, the review is opened either in an authoring tab or in a navigation tab. For more information, see Review Preferred Interface.

You can complete the review using the following commands:

Notes:
  • In a review context, if you right-click a filtered object and select Open, the filtered object will be opened as the root product of an authoring window, not as a root entry in a review context.
  • While opening the review, all the pointed filters are checked. If any filters are broken, a warning message appears. You can either click Solve to update the filters or click Cancel to use the broken filters.

    For more information, see Product Finder User's guide: Using Persistent Filters: Update a Persistent Filter.

    If the review was loaded in the authoring tab, you need to reload the data to take the updated filters into account.

Important: By default, a review is opened with all associated highlights. However, you must select markups explicitly to open them with the review.
