Searching objects
There are 3 different ways to search and find objects in the Xstudio repository.
By name
All the trees in XStudio include an indexing system which allows to search in real time, an entity by its name in the tree . To experiment it by yourself, start by entering some text in the Search field
of the tree of your choice.
This works on any tree in XStudio.
To automatically select an item to search in the tree, you can move up and down within the suggestion list, using the arrow keys, and press Enter to validate your selection or just click on the item in the list.
You can have an exact match by entering the complete text in the Search field
of the tree of your choice.
By Id
The data model gives a unique identifier for each entity managed by XStudio. The Ids look like:| Template | Represents |
| FL_<id> | Folder |
| SU_<id> | SUT |
| R_<id> | Requirement |
| S_<id> | Specification |
| T_<id> | Test |
| TC_<id> | Test case |
| C_<id> | Campaign |
| CS_<id> | Session (Campaign session) |
| ES_<id> | Exploratory session |
| D_<id> | Bug |
| TA_<id> | Task |
| US_<id> | User |
| UG_<id> | Team (User Group) |
| SC_<id> | Schedule |
| AG_<id> | Agent |
| DO_<id> | Document |
| PR_<id> | Project |
| SP_<id> | Sprint |
| CT_<id> | Category |
| CM_<id> | Company |
| SR_<id> | SQL report |
| A_<id> | Asset |
Ids are also available from XStudio's GUI (in Details tab you have an Identifier field that corresponds to <id> in the templates.
To search for an entity from its Id, just type the Id in the Search Id field
and press Enter.
