More smart content questions

I have several questions. 1) how do you get a product in the compatibilities list? 2) what are Scene ID's and how do you make/use them 3) When you select an item, how do you do you make it so that only the products it is associated with show up? For example, select a hair object, and have the materials show up in the smart content window.

Here's how i do it (there might be other ways as well, and depending on DS version menu's might be different)

1. In the Content DB Editor, select the item in the files/compatibily window. There's a drop down list at the bottom left that says "Not Declared". Change that to "Declared As", then you can type in it's compatibility base in the textbox.
2. Load and select the item in the viewport, in the menu go to Edit - Object - Scene Identification. Set the compatibility Base to the one you created in step one.
3. In the Content DB Editor, select the material in the files/compatibily window. Right-click it and select "Add Compatibilities to selected files". Then choose the appropriate compatibility base(s).
