Searching for rules

You can do a text search to find action rules, decision tables, or folders in rule projects.

About this task

You use the search function in the Decision Center Business console to look for project elements. The search can look in more than one project, and for elements that support different locales.

This image shows the Search field in the Project view.

The search makes a list of matching elements, and you use display filters to control the content of the list. The order of the list depends on how closely the elements match your text. When you find the element that you want, you click its name to open it.

Procedure

To use the search function:

  1. In the Search field in the Project view, type the text that you want to find in a project element.
    Note: The search function takes into account the language of your profile, either chosen by you or the language of your browser. If the language is not supported by the searched project, the search function uses the default language of your Decision Center Business console.
  2. Click the arrow in the Search field, and select the projects to search.
  3. Press Enter. A page opens with a list of the elements that contain your text.
  4. Select the filters that match the element that you want to find. The search automatically updates the list of results.
  5. When you find your element, click its name to open it in another view.
