values

Display values/parameters of the results. Select the checkbox next to the icon to display the values automatically with each search performed.

Once the Values dialog is displayed, you can choose to view all values (located at the bottom of the window). A complex overview with tabs corresponding to the tabs of the respective module will be displayed. The additional Export checkbox produces a technical Excel export with values, more text options, or tolerances separated by pipe characters. An export with the all values option selected produces an Excel output with all criteria per result record. The query results must be written cell by cell into Excel, which may take some time.
