Search for data items

To search for data items available for the current filter type, click on the Search icon on the Data Items toolbar.

Use the radio buttons to select whether to search for specific items, or to show all items for the current filter type.

If you use the Search Text function, type the text in the Search Text box, or select from recent searches from the drop-down list provided. Then select the appropriate search criteria from the radio buttons under the Find Data Items list. Here you can specify whether the search should exactly match the search text, match items beginning with the search text, or match items containing the search text. You can also choose to match the case of the search text (that is, upper or lower case). When you have made your selections, click on Search.

The Description and Label columns in the dialog box are populated with the results of the search.

If you use the Show All Items function, the Description and Label columns are populated with all the data items available for the current filter type.

Highlight the required data item and click on Select to close the dialog box and return you to the previous screen where your selection is highlighted in the Data Item List; or click Cancel to quit the search.
