Searching a shell log

Since shell hierarchies can be extensive, the Find feature is helpful in locating specific shells. You can search for shells using a geocode (a longitude and latitude specification), or you can search for shells using shell information, such as name or state.

To search a shell log

Click the anchor shell tab that contains the shell you want to locate. The shell dashboard appears, and a “mini log” of sub-shells appears at the bottom of the window.

From the View drop-down list on the mini log, select the sub-shell you want to search.

Click the Find button. Primavera Unifier collapses the dashboard to show only the mini log, and displays a Find window.

On this Find window, you can search using a geocode or using form fields, but not both.

Choose one of the procedures below.

To search on shell information (form fields)

Choose the operator you want to use on the field, such as “equals,” “does not contain,” or “is empty.”

Enter the value the field should contain.

Click Search (or press Enter). Primavera Unifier displays all the shells that meet the search criteria you entered.

When you have finished using the Find feature, click the Restore button to return the dashboard to normal view.

To search for a shell using a geocode

To search using a geocode, choose either an address or a latitude and longitude.

•

In the Address field, enter a full or partial address for the shell, or

•

In the Latitude and Longitude fields, enter the values, if you know them.

If you do not know the longitude and latitude, click the globe icon beside the Latitude field. A Geocode Picker opens.

Select the Enter Address field and enter the address, or a partial address.

(Optional) To see the location on the map, click the Map It button. Primavera Unifier will fill in the decimal degrees for the latitude and longitude, as well as the degrees, minutes, and seconds.

Click OK. Primavera Unifier will fill in the Latitude and Longitude fields on the Find window.

Back in the Find window, in the Radius field, enter a value to specify a search radius surrounding the address or longitude/latitude coordinates.

Click Search (or press Enter). Primavera Unifier displays all the shells that meet the search criteria you entered.

When you have finished using the Find feature, click the Restore button to return the dashboard to normal view.
