Searching for components
The ability to do a search for components from the Object Browser is a helpful feature new to SAP BusinessObjects Dashboards 4.1. You can perform a search by either name or component type. This comes in handy when you have a lot of objects on the dashboard that are inside groups or canvas containers.
Getting ready
Make sure you have a dashboard that contains a set of components.
How to do it…
- Open up the Object Browser window.
- In the top-left input box, type in the object name or component type that you are searching for. You will see that your search will filter the objects accordingly.
How it works…
As you can see, the search functionality is a useful feature as you can easily find objects by their name.
Tip
The search functionality works best when you have named all your objects properly.
