Overview

Once your parts catalog has more than a few dozen entries, finding the right part fast becomes the daily bottleneck. ION’s parts page supports search, filter, and navigation patterns optimized for the floor: typing a partial part number gets you to the right record, filters narrow by status / subtype / tracking type, and every part links directly to its physical inventory. This page covers searching the catalog, filtering it, and walking from a part to its inventory.

​
Searching the catalog

The search bar at the top of the Parts page matches against:
  • Part number
  • Description
  • Supplier part number
  • Custom field values (where the field type supports text search)
Search is fuzzy — BRKT01 will match BRKT-001. Search is case-insensitive.

​
Search tips

  • Partial part numbers work. BRKT returns every part starting with BRKT.
  • Quote multi-word phrases. "mounting bracket" matches the whole phrase rather than each word independently.
  • Combine with filters. Search narrows the matched set; filters narrow it further.

​
Filtering

Filters live in a panel next to the part list. Common filters:
FilterUse for
StatusHide archived parts (default), or show only archived
Part typeSeparate Part from Tool
Tracking typeFind all serialized parts, or all lot-tracked, etc.
Sourcing strategyMake / Buy / Dual source
SubtypesNarrow to a specific category (e.g. “critical-to-quality”)
Has inventoryShow only parts with on-hand inventory > 0
Created dateRecently added parts
Filters compound — you can stack as many as you want. The list updates as you add or remove each filter.

​
Saving filter views

Frequently used filter combinations can be saved as views. Click Save view with a filter set applied, name it, and it appears in the views dropdown. Useful when:
  • A team works on a specific subtype and wants a one-click view.
  • You’re auditing the catalog (e.g. “all parts missing a cost”).
  • Procurement wants “all Buy parts with empty supplier part number”.

​
Reaching inventory from a part

Every part record has an Inventory tab that lists the physical inventory of that part across the org:
  • For a serialized part: one row per serial number, with location and state.
  • For a lot-tracked part: one row per (location, lot) tuple with quantity.
  • For an untracked part: one row per location with quantity.
From the inventory tab you can:
  • Click a row to open the inventory unit’s detail page.
  • Filter by location (e.g. “all units at WC-Assembly-1”).
  • Filter by state (available, consumed, installed, scrapped, etc.).
  • Adjust inventory (scrap, transfer, recount) — see Inventory.

​
The reverse direction — inventory to part

Every inventory unit references its part. From a part inventory page (e.g. when scanning a serial number on the floor) you can navigate up to the part record to see its specs, BOM relationships, and procedures.

​
Bulk operations on filtered sets

Once you have a filtered list, you can apply bulk actions:
  • Bulk archive — move every matching part to Archived status.
  • Bulk subtype attach / detach — apply a subtype to every match.
  • Bulk export — download the filtered set as CSV for an external workflow.
Bulk operations are auditable: every change shows up in the part’s transaction history with the user and timestamp. For integrations and scripts, the Common Queries → Search Parts page covers the GraphQL surface. Same search semantics, same filters, same results — just over the API instead of the UI.

​
Tips

  • Save the views your team needs. Procurement, manufacturing, quality — each typically has a different filter combination they hit daily. Saved views save them clicks every shift.
  • Use “Has inventory” before bulk-archiving. Archiving parts that still have on-hand inventory is rarely intentional — filter on has inventory: false first.
  • Search by supplier part number when receiving. When a supplier ships a part with their identifier on the box, searching by supplier part number lands you on the right ION part faster than translating to your internal number first.
