Ever wanted to have a little more control of your fittings long description? Keywords are the answer. Keywords can give you a lot more control on your final bill of material description. It gives you the capabilities to add the different pipe schedules or even pipe thickness into your description without having to create multiple lines in your spec. you can also use the Keywords.dat file to create our own keywords per spec.

This presentation will take us through the steps on how to take full advantage of keywords and the keywords.dat file. And hopefully we will learn new ways in which this great feature can be utilized.
