SOLIDWORKS Manage SOLIDWORKS® Manage is an advanced data management system that extends the global file management and application integrations enabled by SOLIDWORKS PDM Professional. SOLIDWORKS Manage is the key element in providing Distributed Data Management. Contents Batch Updates for Link to 3rd Party Fields You can update Link to 3rd party field values for some or all records in an object. Sync with SOLIDWORKS PDM All users can sync selected records in the Main Grid of a SOLIDWORKS PDM object. Future Date Notifications You can send a notification after a certain date and time for a process notification. Batch Updates for Process Fields You can edit fields for multiple process stages with the Batch Edit tool. Send Affected Items to New Processes You can send affected items from selected processes to new processes. Collaboration Comments in File Sharing You can specify an option that allows the participants of file sharing to add comments to each file. This makes it easier to communicate with external users about the shared files. Client Version Check You can specify an option to restrict users from signing in if they use an older client version than the database version. Flat BOM Groupings You can show multiple lines for the same part number for flat bill of materials (BOM) views based on a secondary BOM field value. Adding Automated Task Subject Information You can include field values from an associated object in the task subject. This makes task subjects associated with Project, Process, and Case objects more meaningful to users. Project Snapshots You can capture project record details at certain points in time to create a history of the changes made to a project record. Tasks from Cancelled Processes You can control the status of associated tasks from cancelled processes. This eliminates leftover tasks that you can see after cancelled processes. You can leave edited, unedited, or completed tasks as unchanged, delete them, or change them to completed when the associated process is canceled. Application Programming Interface A web-based API is available. You can use the API to get data out of SOLIDWORKS Manage and update or add records. Creating New Process Records from Existing Process Records You can create new process records from existing process records to capture the field values and other attributes from the source record. Send to Process for Affected Items You can send affected items from one process to a new process. Affected Items in Microsoft File Explorer You can navigate to the Microsoft® File Explorer location for a SOLIDWORKS PDM file that is an affected item in a process. Thumbnails for BOM Copy From When you copy data into a Bill of Materials (BOM) using Copy From, the Select Record dialog box includes thumbnail images in the search results area. Thumbnails make it easier to understand the data that you copy. Installing the SOLIDWORKS Manage Web API You can install the Manage Web API in the SOLIDWORKS PDM InstallShield Wizard. During the installation, you can either use the default port or specify another value for the Http port.
