Searching for a Resource
If you have a large number of resources defined in your EPICenter database, it may be
cumbersome to find aspecific resourceinthe Component Tree.In addition,you may want
to be able to quickly identify all the resources that share a certain attribute. The Grouping
Manager’s Search function lets you find resources using any of the resource information
fields as well as attributes as search criteria.
A search can be initiated either from the main toolbar, or by using the Find button in the
Add Resource orAdd Relationship pop-upwindows.Setting up and executing the search
is the same regardless of where you initiate the search; however, the actions you can take
with the results differ depending on where you started from.
The Search Results provide you with the name of the resources that match your criteria,
and the paths (group hierarchy) to where the resources reside within your search scope.
• If you initiate the Search from the main toolbar, you can select one or more resource in
theresultlist,andremovethemfromtheirparentgroups.See“Searchingfrom theMain
Toolbar”on page 8-26 for more information. You can double-click a resource in the
results list to see where it is located in the Component Tree.
