Using database-level search in a modeling workbench

Use the search feature in the modeling workbench to search for any data item (cubes, dimensions, views, sets, processes, chores, rules, and control objects) in a database.

To search within a database, follow these steps:

1. Click the Search button in the workbench.
2. In the panel that opens, select the database in which you want to search.
   
3. Enter the name of the data item you are searching for in the Search field.

   To search for a control object, prefix the name with }. For example, }Attributes. The search looks for items that contain the string that follows }. A search for }att displays the results }CubeAttributes and }DimensionAttributes.

   
   Tip: Click the Filter icon to see search results for a specific data item. For example, if you want to see search results only for dimensions named “Test” in the 24Retail database, click the Filter icon, and select Dimensions.

To search for the same data item in a different database or with different filter options, simply change your selections and a new search triggers.

You can click any search result to open it in a tab.

You can also click the icon next to the data item to edit it or delete it from the database.
