Find a Component by Name or Type

In the ISPW Repository Explorer view, users can search by component name and/or type to find a component in any stream or application. This is particularly useful when the application is not known.

To find a component by name or type

1. In the ISPW Repository Explorer view, do one of the following:

   • Click .
   • From the View menu, select Find Component.

   The Find Component dialog box appears.

2. Do either or both of the following:
   • In the Name field, enter the component name. The field is case-sensitive and allows a wildcard after the first position.
   • In the Type field, enter a valid component type. The field is case-sensitive and allows a wildcard after the first position.

3. Press Enter or click Find. The dialog box populates with components that match the filter.

   Warning

   Note: The Path column provides the location within the ISPW repository. This path is blank if there is no folder hierarchy structure in ISPW.

4. Select the desired component and click OK or double-click the component. The ISPW Repository Explorer view populates with the stream, application, and level of the selected component, and the component itself is selected in the ISPW Repository Explorer view.

   Warning

   Note: Any component filter previously entered in the ISPW Repository Explorer view is cleared when using this find functionality.
