A pop-up window opens. Enter the term you want to search for into the search field and press Enter. You can also enter only a part of the term you are searching for. As a result, you will see all the ingredient names containing the search term.

Note: The issuer of the form can disable selection of ingredients that are inactivated in the SpecPDM administration. In case you had added an ingredient and it was later deactivated, the ingredient will become highlighted and you will not be able to release the form. In this case replace or remove the inactive ingredient.

There are two types of entries:

From business partner: These entries mostly contain trade names/ingredients your business partner uses internally and has made available to you.

An alternative way to enter ingredients in a pop up

 

If preferred, a user may view or edit the ingredient in a pop-up. Hover the mouse over the ingredient name, and the expand icon should appear. Click on the icon to open the pop-up. If the user is in the edit mode, then editing the ingredient fields is possible in the pop-up. This approach may be preferred to editing the ingredient in a single line and horizontally scroll on the page to access the most right columns.
