Search & Replace in Report Types

Advanced Search

The advanced search can be opened by clicking on the “Search and Replace” button in the top bar of the list of report types:

Open

The advanced search offers more sophisticated search possibilities than the standard search (that searches only in id’s and descriptions):

Open

• restricting report types (by id)

• restricting node id’s

• restricting building blocks (by id)

• restricting either properties or parameter

• restricting by a specified property or parameter value

All such restrictions can be entered by using the wildcard character * and multiple search values can be combined using the pipe character |

Operations on nodes, properties or parameters found

Individual vs. bulk operations

When inspecting the list of found elements one can then

• run a replace operation on a single element

  • a code snippet is provided highlighting the found property or parameter value

  • one can direclty open the report type at the specified element to further manually inspect

• select a series of elements for a bulk replace operation (by checkboxes)

Types of operations supported

• replace a property (or parameter) value

• delete a property (or parameter)

• delete a node

• replace a node with a new node (provided in Json format)

• add a node as child or sibling (with control on positioning)
