You can search for objects and orders in the Planning Schematic to center the schematic on your search result.

# Search for objects

Use the **Find** tools to search for specific objects such as regulators, properties and outlets. You can search by object name, object attributes, authorisation operator, or object number.

To search by object number choose **Find > Find by Object No**. and enter the object number that you want to find. For the other object search options follow this procedure:

**To search for an object:**

**Step 1**

In the Planning Schematic main menu choose **Find > Find by Name** or click **Find by Name** to open the Find tool.

**Step 2**

In the Find By panel, choose the type of search to use. The options are:

- **Site Details** - search by object name and type
- **Operator Details** - search by the operator for the authorisation
- **Attribute Details** - search for objects based on what attributes they have and (optionally) by the attribute value

**Step 3**

Enter your search criteria:

**Site Details**

| **Property** | **Description** |
| --- | --- |
| Name | Enter all or part of the object name. |
| Type | Choose the object type. For all types, choose *Any*. |
| Include SubTypes | Include sub types of the specified object type. |
| Match | Choose how to match the object name to the text you entered in the **Name** field:<br>- *Any* - match if your text occurs anywhere in the object name.
- *Exact* - match if the object name is exactly the same as your text.
- *First* - match if the object name begins with your text.
- *Last* - match if the object name ends with your text. |
| Case Sensitive | Select this option to make the search case sensitive. |

**Operator Details**

| **Property** | **Description** |
| --- | --- |
| Name | Enter all or part of the operator's name. |
| Match | Choose how to match the object name to the text you entered in the **Name** field. |
| Case Sensitive | Select this option to make the search case sensitive. |

**Attribute Details**

| **Property** | **Description** |
| --- | --- |
| Attribute Type | Choose the attribute type. |
| Object Type | Choose the object type. |
| Include SubTypes | Include sub types of the specified object type. |
| Limit by Value | Match only if the attribute has a specific value or range of values. |
| Comparison Type | Specify what attribute values will be matched. The options are.<br>- Equals
- Not equals
- Is not set
- Greater than
- Less than |
| Value | Specify a value (except when choosing objects where the attribute is not set). |

**Step 4**

Click **Find** to load the search results.

**Step 5**

In the search results panel, click a result to center the Planning Schematic on that object.

Use the **Advanced** options to search for some types of objects such as over-capacity regulators. See <u>[Finding over-capacity drops](https://rubiconwater.atlassian.net/wiki/pages/createpage.action?spaceKey=pnc&title=Finding%20Over-Capacity%20Regulators%20in%20the%20Restriction%20Plan&linkCreation=true&fromPageId=2051899769)</u> for details.

# Search for Orders

You can use the Planning Schematic **Find** tool to search for orders if you know the order number. This will center the schematic on the outlet for which the order was placed. Alternatively, you can view and filter a list of flow events that are included in the plan and click on an event to center the schematic on the outlet where the event is located.
