Exercise 9: Selection using a Tree Stage

Use a Tree Stage to filter records by category based on their links to records in other data tables, or based on the database hierarchy (tree).

For example, you can filter for records that are linked to a specific process record.

  2. Click Show to view a list of MaterialUniverse records to which this process folder is linked.
    1. Double-click a record name to view its datasheet.
  3. Delete this stage.
  4. Find processes which can join Ferrous Metals and alloys
    1. In the Selection Project panel, under Selection Data, select ProcessUniverse: Joining.
    2. In the Tree Stage dialog, select MaterialUniverse, expand Metals and alloys, select Ferrous, and then click Insert followed by OK.
    3. Click Show to view the linked records.
  5. Delete this stage.
