Object Finder


Revision as of 07:38, 10 May 2019 by LDO (Talk | contribs)

As the name already explains the basic usage of this modal window is finding and using MetaClasses and Instances in your worksheets. The invocation is possible on the Inheritance Graph, Application Graph, Relation Instance Graph, MetaProxy Graph and Bulk Editor. The Object Finder for MetaClasses or Instances is separated through two icons you see in the toolbar or the context menu directly in the worksheet. It’s also an option to call it for MetaClasses per Ctrl+M or for Instances per Ctrl+I. The search for objects is possible through the base of the Inheritance Information, meaning you can choose a MetaClass as a base to find your wanted object. As an additional filter you have two textboxes, one for the search by Name, Description and UID and the second for Namespaces which is dependent from the first textbox. You have the option to search for objects in the Environment as same as in the Project self.
