Searching for Catalog Values

The Search feature of the Catalog Maintenance info area helps to locate catalogs based on a number, external key or text.

To search for catalog values:

  1. Enter search criteria for the catalog values you want to change:
    • Info Area and Catalog: If no info area is selected, all available catalogs are listed in the Catalog field. If an info area is chosen only the catalogs used in the selected info area are listed.
    • Search catalog values by:
      • TenNo
      • Ext. Key
      • Text
      These fields support wildcard search. The values accepted are star (*) and interrogation mark (?).
    • Languages: Select the languages you want to search. The Languages.Editable and Languages.Visible Web Configuration parameters determine, which languages are editable/visible. For further information, see Languages.Editable/Languages.Visible.

      Languages.Editable and Languages.Visible do not apply to the SU, i.e., the SU can view/edit all languages.

      Your selection determines the language columns displayed in the search results. The base language and the active user's login language are checked by default. The base language cannot be unchecked.
    Note: You need to specify either catalog, external key, or text at least.

    If the catalog maintenance is accessed from a catalog field, Info Area and Catalog are automatically entered.

By default, the search results are sorted by catalog code.

The search results always display the TenNo and Parent catalog value columns. The Catalog column is displayed only if the resulting catalog values come from different catalogs, i.e., if no catalog was selected as search criterion. Ext. Key, Sort number, and Lock are displayed per language. If a catalog value doesn't exist in a language, the respective fields remain empty.
