Understanding Streamlining Toolbox

As Toolbox administrator, you can streamline Toolbox by filtering out the default Toolbox components that are not required by your organization.

Trimming the size of Toolbox makes it more efficient. Users spend less time searching for components or deciding which ones to use.

When you customize the Toolbox offerings to include only selected component sizes and standards, you customize the hole sizes offered by the Hole Wizard and Smart Fastener offerings as well.

You can select the standards and hardware for your Toolbox users based on your knowledge of the hardware required by your organization. Exclude unnecessary standards and component types, and then exclude unnecessary sizes.

You can filter out the default Toolbox hardware offerings by standard and by component type from the Customize Hardware page of Toolbox Settings:
  • Exclude standards not used by your company.
  • Within a selected standard, exclude unnecessary component categories.
  • Within the component categories, exclude unnecessary component types.

You can filter out selected Toolbox hardware offerings by size from the Standard Properties section of the Customize Hardware page of Toolbox Settings.

You can filter hole standards and types from the Hole Wizard page of Toolbox Settings.
