Search your workspace page(s)


Search in a particular workspace page.


If you have too many icons in the workspace page, you will have difficulty searching a particular DB icon. As a user, you may want to navigate to a particular workspace icon/chicklet. You can do so by following the below steps.
1. Open the workspace page.
2. Press the first letter key of the database icon name. This will point to the first icon on the selected workspace page. Press the character again. It will go to the next database icon starting with that letter.



Search through all the workspace pages.


You might have a lot of workspace icons and might have arranged in different workspace pages. But, now, you might not remember which workspace page the icon is. You can search through all your workspace pages with the help of the following steps.

1. Select any icon on any page.
2. Press CTRL + F and type the database icon name or any characters of the database name.

This will take you to the workspace page which contains the characters you typed in Step2.

For example, in below figure, "mple" was given the search string. It searched for a DB icon - "Simple database" which contained "mple".
