Using the Type-Ahead Select Functions

Use the simple type-ahead select function to select displayed objects as you type. To use the simple function, make sure the Browser tab is current, then type the characters you want to match.

Note: You cannot use the simple type-ahead select function in the Search tab.

Use the advanced type ahead select function to select objects in the Browser or Search tab whether or not they are currently displayed. To use the advanced function, click an object that has the same type as the object you want to select, then click the button next to the button at the bottom of the Repository pane (or if the filter subtree function is enabled, next to the button). From the drop-down menu, choose:

Enter the text you want to match in the field next to the button. The tool selects matched objects as you type, as long as they are in the same subtree. Click the button to repeat the select with the same criterion.

To select multiple objects, enter the text you want to match in the field next to the button, then click the adjacent button. From the drop-down menu, choose:

The tool selects matched objects as long as they are in the same subtree. Click the button to repeat the select with the same criterion.
