When do you need structure indexing?

Learn when structure indexing is necessary and beneficial in Teamcenter. You can understand the prerequisite for Massive Model Visualization (MMV) capabilities and search filtering, and additional use cases. Structure indexing is a prerequisite for the configuration and use of Massive Model Visualization (MMV) capabilities. Search filtering also requires structure indexing. For additional use cases, the use of structure indexing may be considered after weighing the infrastructure and implementation costs in relation to the end user benefits. Consider the following examples of incremental benefits of structure indexing: The where-used search works without structure indexing. However, structure indexing additionally provides where-used capabilities in top-level contexts that are indexed. The keyword search is based on the object index and is cacheless. Structure indexing additionally provides facet count-based search refinement. Your site administrators can help assess whether there is sufficient incremental value in additionally enabled search features or if the infrastructure and administration costs outweigh the benefits. If cacheless search with object index is sufficient for their mainstream use cases, they can make an informed decision to not use structure indexing although it is available.
