Search by object ID

If you know at least a portion of the object ID of a library object, you can use the object ID search feature. An object ID search encompasses the entire classification hierarchy and cannot be limited to the contents of a particular class or subclass.

Procedure

1. Click the Search pane located to the right of the hierarchy tree.
2. Type the exact object ID or partial object ID and wildcard characters in the Object ID box, located at the top of the Search pane.
3. (Optional) Narrow your search using the search by type feature.
4. (Optional) Click the revision rule hyperlink on the title bar to apply a revision rule for the search. If you enter a specific revision in the Object ID box, the search ignores the revision rule. If a revision rule is already set, it is displayed in the revision rule link.
5. Press Enter or click the Search button to the right of the Object ID box.

The object ID search returns the objects found in alphabetical/numeric order by object ID. The first object found is displayed in the Properties pane. When navigating through the objects, the class and subclass to which the object belongs are highlighted in the classification tree. The total number of objects found is displayed in the Search Results box.

6. Navigate through the search results.
7. Select the desired library object and transfer it to Systems Engineering.
8. (Optional) Perform subsequent searches by clicking the Search tab, clicking Clear and proceeding from step 2.
