About This On-Demand Webinar
Watch to learn why automation in SOLIDWORKS Professional Data Management software (PDM) is so valuable to engineering organizations and how it helps align company processes. Some of the benefits of controlling documents like folders and files are:
- Monitoring what information joins and leaves the network
- Assuring quality control
- Eliminating inconsistent folder creation, naming conventions and placement
- Facilitating browsing
- Creating a common folder and file structures in prescribed locations
- Passing metadata from custom GUI to folder data cards or from PDM to the file
To help you achieve this consistency within your documents, we outline how to automate folder and file creation in six easy steps using the Template Wizard in the PDM Admin Tool. These steps consist of assigning a template name, permissions, template input forms, template folders and files, a template icon and lastly, assigning users to a template.
