In order to search the object map,
you create a set of criteria you want to use in your search. You can name
the set of criteria and save it, so you can use it for other searches. If
necessary, you can edit the saved criteria.
To create a new set of criteria or edit an existing set of criteria
for searching the object map:
- Open the Set Active
Find Criteria dialog box:
- From the test object map menu, click Find > Find by Filters.
- From the test object map toolbar, click the Find: Filters button
.
- To set up new find criteria, click Create.
To select a set of existing criteria in the Find Filter Names list,
click Edit.
Functional Tester
opens the Define Find Filter
Properties dialog box.
- In the Properties list, select a property
to use as find criterion and click >>> to add it to
the Filter list. Add as many properties as necessary,
clicking >>> after each.
When you add
more than one property to the Filter field, Functional
Tester groups the objects under an AND folder (the
default).
- Make any necessary changes to items in the Filter field:
- Right-click a folder to change it to AND or OR.
- Group objects by pressing Ctrl and clicking the
objects you want to include, right-click, and select Group.
- Ungroup objects by right-clicking the group folder, and select Ungroup.
- Click Next to continue; if you are finished
editing, click Finish.
Functional
Tester opens the Define
Find Filter Relationships dialog box.
- Make any necessary changes to the relationship between the properties:
- In the Filter field, you can click a group folder
and change its relationship from AND to OR.
- In the Filter field, you can click an object and
select an Operator and the value for the object.
- You can select NOT Relationship to search for
objects that do not contain the relationship and value you specify.
- If the Operator is Equal, you
can specify a Regular Expression ( RE:) or a Numeric
Range ( NR:) in the Value field.
For information, see Replacing
an Exact-Match Property with a Pattern.
- Click Next to continue; if you are finished
editing, click Finish.
Functional
Tester opens the Define Find Filter
Name dialog box.
- In the Filter Name field, enter the name
you want to use for the set of find criteria. This is the name displayed in
the Find Filter Names field of the Set Active Find
Criteria dialog box.
When editing, changing the
Filter Name copies the set of criteria, creating a new set of criteria and
leaving the old set intact.
- Click Finish. Functional
Tester closes the Define Find Filter Properties dialog box and reopens the
Set Active Find Criteria dialog box, which enables you to run the filter you
have created or edited, define a new filter, or edit an existing filter.
