Result view of a server keyword search

This view displays the results of the keyword search that was requested from the Server Keyword Search choice. This choice is available from the Search button in the toolbar or the Search menu. You can load your local workspace from the search results. The explanations on the keywords and the keywords synonyms are gathered in the keywords thesaurus on the server.

The search results are the same whatever the content of your workspace because the search is carried out on the server.

The tooltip that is associated with the view title describes the search whose result is displayed in the view. You can then easily differentiate the various result views.

The view displays the keywords in the alphabetic order. If you click the symbol at the beginning of each line, you can see the instances, sorted by entities, in which each keyword is called.

Possible actions on the instances that contain keywords

If you right-click an instance where a keyword was found, you can complete the following actions:
  • Open the instance in its design editor in a read-only mode. The editor displays the same information as it would if the instance was present in the local workspace. You can navigate through the instances. For example, you can open the editor of a Data Element from the CE Lines tab of a Segment.
  • Show the history of the instance. This choice opens the History view where the change history of the instance is displayed.
  • Load the artifacts. Only the instances from which you have selected this choice are loaded into the local workspace.
  • Load the required artifacts. You can select this choice from one of the following line types:
    • One or more design files. If the design file is a Program, Screen, or Server instance, a dialog box asks you whether you want to load the associated generated source file. This file is not required but its loading makes the product easier to use.

      A specific loading wizard opens. It displays the selected files and their required artifacts that were detected by following the subreference links. All these files are loaded into the local workspace, where they constitute a consistent set of data.

    • One or more source files or maps (for Screens). The links are automatically explored to find all the required artifacts. All these artifacts are loaded into the local workspace.

    For explanations, see Loading the local workspace.

  • Load the required projects for this instance. You can then limit the number of the components to be loaded into your local workspace in order to be able to work on the instance.
  • Search for the Server references of the instances. These references are then displayed in the Server References view

Navigation in the keyword list
