case("CATEGORY", 'A', 'LV',
'B', 'MV', 'HV')
You use this feature to search for tables, models and column views in a system. You can search these objects in
any system from the list of systems added in the Navigator panel that has all services started, and is up and
running.
In the search results, for a matching object you can perform the following actions:
● Tables - you can open the table definition and add the table in the analytic and attribute view editor.
Note: You can add a table only if the editor is open otherwise it results in error.
● Models - you can open the models in the editor and in case of attribute view, you can add it in the view editor
of an analytic view.
Note: You can add a model only if the editor is open otherwise it results in error.
● Column Views - you can only open and view the definition.
1. Enter the object that you want to search in the Modeler toolbar search field.
2. Select the system in which you want to search the object from the dropdown option next to the Search
button.
3. To execute the search, choose Search.
The matching objects are listed in the expanded results pane with three tab pages, Tables, Models, and
Column Views. You can select each to view the matching objects and corresponding actions that you can
perform on them, for example, Open and Add.
