Searching for properties

About this task

The Properties tab contains a menu to filter the properties displayed in the window.

The All option displays all the available properties for your selection. You can display only the Overridden properties for the model or only the properties you overrode locally with the Locally Overridden option. The Common properties are those most often changed for the selected type of item.

The Filter menu option lets you search for specific properties by entering a filter string. IBM® Rational® Rhapsody® displays only the properties that contain the text you entered. When you are filtering the properties and select the Match property description check box, Rational Rhapsody searches the property definitions for the string you entered, as well as the property name.

Note: The Filter mechanism is not case sensitive and does not allow the use of wildcards or expressions.

If you enter more than one word as the Filter, Rational Rhapsody performs an "or" search and displays all the properties that contain any one of the words entered. To limit the search to only the definitions containing the entire phrase, enclose the words in the search string within quotation marks.

As long as the Features window (or stand-alone properties window) remains open, the selection you made from the menu (filter text and check box setting) is retained. When the Features window is closed, these are reset.
