Search for Objects dialog box: Owner searches

The Owner tab allows you to search objects by a particular owner.

This tab is only available if you are searching for either application objects or public objects. If you are searching for configuration objects, by accessing the Search for Objects dialog box from the Search for Configuration Objects option in the Administration menu, this tab is unavailable.

To search by Owner criteria

  1. From the Tools menu, choose Search for Objects. The Search for Objects dialog box opens.

  2. Click the Owner tab.

    The Owner tab is available only if you are searching for either application objects or public objects. If you are searching for configuration objects, by accessing the Search for Objects dialog box from the Search for Configuration Objectsoption in theAdministrationmenu, this tab is unavailable.

  3. By default, all the owners are listed and included in the search. To search for only a specific owner, select Only this owner, and then select an owner from the list of users.

  4. A search can contain multiple criteria. For example, you can search for objects based on their owner, type, last modification date, and primary language. Using more criteria in your search can help restrict the number of results that are returned. For instructions to add other criteria to your search, see:

  5. Click Find Now to execute the search based on the parameters that you have entered. The search results are listed at the bottom of the dialog box.

  6. You can customize the results window by selecting which columns are displayed in the results window, whether or not to display hidden objects, whether or not to display managed objects, and whether or not to resolve shortcuts to their target objects. For instructions, see Search for Objects dialog box: Options.

  7. You can:

    • Right-click any of the objects in the results window and, depending upon the object, you can choose to edit, rename, delete, or translate the object. You may also be able to search for dependents, search for components, or view the properties of the object.

    • Save the search results as a MicroStrategy object, which allows you to use the search results in creating prompts and other objects.

      To do this, select Savefrom theFilemenu.

    • Save the search results to a text file, which is one way to keep track of changes to a project. For details about the information that is saved in the text file, see Saving a search to a text file.

      To do this, select Export to Text from the Tools menu. The text file is saved by default to C:\Program Files\MicroStrategy\Desktop\SearchResult_date and timestamp.txt, where <date and timestamp> is the day and time when the search was saved. For example, SearchResult_022624152554.txt was saved on February 26, 2024, at 15:25:54, or 3:35 PM.

    • Create and print HTML pages containing information such as properties and definitions about the selected objects.

      To do this, select Project Documentation from the Tools menu.

  8. You can clear all fields from all search tabs, which allows you to begin creating another search. To do this, click New Search, and then click OK at the prompt.
