Find and replace objects

viflow has an extensive search function with which you can search for terms depending on the language and object type and automatically replace certain words or text passages.

Search

In the Search window you can search for entire terms or parts of them and you will receive a list of all found objects with type, property and language.

How to search for viflow objects

    The Search window opens.
  2. Enter a search term or part of it in the Find field.
  3. If necessary, specify the language, object type and property to be searched for.
    For example, you can limit the search to the language "German", the type "Information" and the property "Name" beforehand. If the language and type are set to any, all content is searched for the search term.
  4. Click the Search button.The results are displayed in the window on the right. The search results can be sorted by type , object (alphabetically), property and language by clicking on the title of the appropriate column.
