Searching One Off Versions
A one-off version is a branch version created from any version within the normal revision sequence. It is used to track a unique modification to a design without disturbing the main revision sequence. It is labeled with the original version followed by a dash and a number. For example, A one-off version such as A-1.0 is composed of revision A and an instance 1. You can create a one-off version from the latest version of a revision or the latest one-off version of a revision. You can iterate an one-off version. For example, when A-1.0 is iterated, A-1.1 version is created.
By default, Windchill only searches against the latest iteration of every revision based on the criteria. Non-latest iterations are ignored. You can use the advanced search criteria or the Latest Version Search preference to extend your search to include all, the latest, or the absolute latest version of objects. For more information on using the Criteria panel, see Criteria.
Many of the following examples use various values for revision, iteration, state, and classification attributes in the Criteria panel. The Criteria panel uses the AND operator. Some of the examples include keyword search in addition to the database search.

• See Advanced Search Examples for an explanation of the formatting used in the tables.
• If you are performing a keyword search with indexing enabled, and you want to search for non-latest iterations with additional criteria (such as all iterations in a certain state), then your search might return unexpected results. For more information, see Non-Latest Iterations Using Multiple Criteria.

Specifying the Name of the Part
In this example, you perform a search using the following Criteria:
• Name=Drive Shaft
The following results are returned:
This search returns the latest versions of all the revisions, the latest versions created from one-off versions, and all the one-off versions for each revision.
Specifying Keywords for All Revisions
In this example, you perform a search using Keyword as Red and select a value for the following attribute in Criteria:
• Revision=All
The following results are returned:
This search returns the latest version of a revision and all the one-off versions of a revision that contains classification attribute value as blue.
| | If you perform a keyword search only, the value of the Latest Version Search preference determines the search results. If you perform a keyword search with additional criteria, then the values of Revision and Iteration in the Criteria panel overrides the Latest Version Search preference value. |
Specifying Keywords for the Latest Revision
In this example, you perform a search using the following Criteria:
• Classification=Blue
• Revision=Latest
The following results are returned:
This search returns the latest version, all the one-off versions of the latest revision, and the latest one-off version of any revision that contains the classification attribute value as blue.
Specifying Keywords for the Absolute Latest Revision
In this example, you perform a search using Keyword as Blue and select a value for the following attribute in Criteria:
• Revision=Absolute
This search returns the latest version of the latest revision and all the one-off versions of the latest revision that contains the classification attribute value as blue.
Specifying Keywords for the Latest Version
In this example, you perform a search using Keyword as Blue and select a value for the following attributes in Criteria:
• Revision=Latest
• Iteration=Latest
This search returns the latest one-off version of a non-latest revision, the latest version, and the one-off versions of the latest revision that contains classification attribute value as blue.
Specifying Keywords for the Absolute Latest Version
In this example, you perform a search using Keyword as Red and select a value for the following attributes in Criteria:
• Revision=Absolute
• Iteration=Absolute
This search returns the one-off version of the latest revision that contains classification attribute value as red.
