Search (Tutorials)

Go Up to Session 19: Using ER/Studio Business Architect Tools

The Search function works differently than Find in Diagram, as it searches the entire workspace and then provides a list of the objects that were found. It searches the data itself, not the element in the diagram.

To perform a search, select the Search item under the Edit menu:

You can search an entire workspace, or specific projects and models. You can also search on Names, Descriptions, or Notes. The search can be limited to specific types of objects and you can match case and whole words. In the example below we are going to search for a pool with the word “Order” in the name.

After you click the Find button, a Search view appears with all the elements that matched the search. From this view, there are several toolbar buttons available which will assist in locating the element in active diagram, all diagrams, or the model view. There are also toolbar buttons to modify the search and filter out the results.
