9.5.4   Finding Parameters in Selection Tree Items

In this section an example of how to find parameters, containing certain values, in selection tree items. It is described in the following step-list.

This example shows how to find specific values in parameters of a condition or modifier. In this case, the user wants to find the numbers 100, 245 and 900.

1. Select Find in the context-sensitive menu in the tree or press CTRL+F.
2. Choose any in the drop-down. This makes the search match any of the criteria specified below and enables the user to find items in the tree where the parameters can contain any of the numbers 100, 245 and 900 or all of them.
3. Specify the search criteria. In this case we want to find all parameters containing a Numbers parameter that has one or all of the values 100, 245, 900.
4. Select Parameter in the first drop-down.
5. Enter the text Numbers in the text field.
6. Choose contains in the second drop-down.
7. Enter 900 in the text field. This makes up one search criteria.
8. Add another search criteria by pressing the + button.
9. Enter the value 100 in the last text field.
10. Do the same with the last search criteria, but enter the value 245.
11. If the user did not stand in the root of the tree when Find was selected, the check box Start at root should be checked if the find function should search the tree from root to bottom. Otherwise, the search is executed from the point in the tree where the Find function was selected.
12. Press the Find button. In this case, all conditions and modifiers with the Parameter Numbers that contains 100 and/or 245 and/or 900, and the path to them in the tree (root and nodes), is displayed in the Search output.
