Changing Display name of Content Center Part

ZacRocket — Tue, 19 Jul 2022 20:11:09 GMT

Hi, I am just starting to dip my toes into custom content centers and I am trying to define the as standard Display name (or whatever we call the name in the model browser, see picture). From what I have found this has to do with the way I map my Template Parameters, but I am not sure how to map this together.

Desired Display name: Part number + Size Designation

Current Display Name: Family name + Size Designation (As Seen Below)

This is very likely determined by the column properties in the family table. In the FT, find the Display Name column and right click in the column header > Column Properties. There you should see the expression that creates the column entries from other data, such as Part Number, size, etc. This is basically a string (text) operation. If you need help with creating or altering an expression, let us know.

I didn't find a Display Name column in my FT (Family Table I assume) So i made one.

I was wondering if the settings are messed up on the Parameter mapping so here is what my template parameters are set to

I figured it out. I was being dumb. The Display name is defined by the "Member:Display Name" Template Parameter. However I placed it on two columns therefore it was redefining one of my Family Table columns then pulling from that column
