Finding files
Return to Introduction  Previous page  Next page
In large projects with deep folder hierarchies, it can be difficult to locate a file. For this reason, and to help with a number of tasks, Version Manager utilizes a complex search dialog. To display the find dialog, select Edit/Search from the main menu:

searchclosed  

You can specify multiple criteria for your search and the results will be displayed in the search form. A typical search would be to locate all files with a particular extension, modified within a certain period:

searchdate  
 
... currently modified on disk, or out of date files:

searchstatus  

...and currently locked by a certain user:

searchadvanced  

When you press the Find Now button, the search results will be displayed in a pane below the criteria:

searchopen  

The result set can span multiple projects and folders and you have full access to the context menu for the selected files to allow you to check in and out files, view properties, add Version Labels and Promote.
