You can search for projects on the basis of search criteria, such as the name of the designer or customer.
Select the saving location from which you wish to search for projects in the field at the bottom left corner of the dialog box. If you wish to search for projects in the entire project archive, select All projects.
The view in the field depends on the sorting attributes you have selected. By default, the saving location is the sorting attribute.
Fill in the search criteria in the dialog box. You can define one or more search terms. You can use an asterisk (*) in the search term.
Search for a project by clicking the Search button. The result is displayed in the list. In the list, you can sort the projects by label, designer or customer by clicking the headers.
Restore all projects of the project archive on the list by clearing the search terms and clicking the Search button again.
Modify classification
The sorting attributes are displayed in a tree view in the field of the dialog box.
For example, by default the saving location of the project, SHARED and VERTEX, is used as the sorting attribute. The content of the PROJ_MS field specifies the saving location.
Edit the sorting attributes by clicking the Modify classification button.
Select the sorting attributes in the Classifying attributes dialog box. The attributes you select are saved in the system registry and will stay in effect until you change them.
