Searching for a Data Object

If a large number of products are displayed for a grid, you can search through these products.

You search for products in two places:

  • On the Date Objects tab

  • On the Content tab, when you select the smart grid variable and assign a smart grid. Click the pencil icon in the Data Objects area. The Select data object dialog is then displayed, in which you can also search for data objects.

The object variants for the locale that you assigned to the document are displayed on the Data Objects tab by default (for example, Germany). If you want to view the variants for a different locale, select the locale in the top list (for example, France). The data objects with a variant for the locale France are then displayed.

When you change the locale, a different amount may be displayed from locale to locale. In this case, every variant has not been created for every data object.

Note

You can assign a data object to a grid in each variant. However, note that the data from the variant that the template designer has specified is always used: either the data from a specific locale is used, or the locale that you select for the document determines the data.

If a large number of data objects are displayed, enter a keyword in the search field on the Data Objects tab. You then see only the data objects whose properties contain the keyword.
