Searching for Objects

Searching for Objects

Use an object query to search for objects in the repository that meet specified conditions. When you run a query, the repository returns results based on those conditions. You may want to create an object query to complete the following tasks:
  • Track repository objects during development
    . You can add Label, User, Last saved, or Comments parameters to queries to track objects during development.
  • Associate a query with a deployment group
    . When you create a dynamic deployment group, you can associate an object query with it.
To create an object query, click Tools > Queries to open the Query Browser.
From the Query Browser, you can create, edit, and delete queries. You can also configure permissions for each query from the Query Browser. You can run any query for which you have read permissions from the Query Browser.
