Object Finder search parameters
You can select any one search parameter or a combination of search parameters to filter your search to specific groups of objects.
As you gain familiarity with your object data in the Object Finder, you can speed up your use of the search parameters. Depending on the parameter that you select, the options that are available for the other unselected parameters are updated. Instead of choosing an object type first, for example, you can choose one of the other parameters first.
| Search parameter | Description |
| Object Type | Filter the search to objects of a specific object type. |
| Module | Filter the search to objects in a specific
module. This parameter does not display for the object types Application, Budget Token, Document, Form Style, Group, Module, Navigation Collection, Navigation Item, Portal, Portal Section, and Web Component. |
| Business Object | Filter the search to a specific business object. This parameter displays if you select a module that contains business objects. |
| Modified After (Date) | Filter the search to objects modified after a specific date. If you do not select a date, objects are returned regardless of when they were modified. |
| Modified By (User) | Filter the search to objects that were modified by
a specific user. If you do not specify a user name, objects are
returned regardless of the user who last modified them. Some object types do not support this parameter in their database layout. For those object types, the system does not return any objects if you identify a user for this parameter. The supported object types for this parameter are Application, Business Object, Document, Form, Group, Module, Navigation Collection, Navigation Item, Query, Record Data, Web Component, and Workflow. |
| Object Label | Filter the search to objects that contain a specific object label. This parameter displays for the object types All, Application, Business Object, Form, Module, Report, Web Component, and Workflow. When All is selected, only Application, Business Object, Form, Module, Report, Web Component, and Workflow objects are searched, as they contain object labels. The objects that are not labeled are not searched. This parameter searches for only the objects that currently contain the object label. In Object Label Manager, the Labeled Objects tab for the object label definition contains not only objects that currently have the label but also objects that previously had the label. |
| Object Name | Filter the search by entering an object name that you want and selecting a filter. |
