Making Content Appear in User Searches

These tips help ensure that your content appears when users perform a search.

Complete all metadata accurately for your model. Avoid spelling mistakes.

Display Name

Use a descriptive name in this field. Display Name is a prominent field in the search results, so use a name that describes both the type of product and specific product. For example, use Double-acting cylinder RD-140, where Double-acting cylinder is the descriptive label and RD-140 is your company's identifier.

3DCC Categories

Use only the most relevant 3D ContentCentral categories to define your model. Using unnecessary categories reduces the quality of search results.

Tags

Use these guidelines for tags:

  • Add all relevant, industry-specific keywords that are not listed in the 3DCC Categories list.
  • Add tags that define property, function behavior, and application of the model.
  • Add company-specific names of the model.
  • Add material, if it helps differentiate the model from similar models.

Part Number

Use your company's part number for the model.

Description

Enter details that users will need to know in search results.

3D ContentCentral also searches within the text of PDF datasheets.
