Find an object using Open by Name

The Open by Name function

The Open by Name functionality in IGSS is very versatile. Use this function when you know the name or part of the name of an object, but do not know which diagram it resides on. You can also use it to view a list of objects with common properties, f.ex. all objects based on a specific template, all objects sharing the same alarm number, etc.

 

  1. Go to the Edit menu and select Open by Name or press CTRL + E.

 

The Object Browser

The Object Browser shows you a tree view on the left and a list of objects on the right. The list of objects is filtered dependent on what you select in the tree view. When you open the Object Browser, it shows all the objects in the configuration.
