Searching Pickers

 

Most pickers include a Find feature with which you can locate specific objects (codes, assets, business processes, users, shells, etc.) while you are working on a form or a sheet . When you use this Find feature, Primavera Unifier narrows the list of items shown on the picker to match the search criteria you specified. For pickers with extensive lists, this can make completing the business process form much quicker.

Some pickers display static Find windows; others display floating windows like the Task and business process logs (however, without the “save search” feature).

For most pickers, the Find feature works as generally described under "Floating Find windows" and "Static Find windows"; however, the User/Group Picker works differently.

Notes
Fund Pickers are most often searchable by the fields that were created for the fund attribute form in Primavera uDesigner. However, if no attribute form was created for the fund, you can search for the fund by its name or code.

Pickers that include WBS codes display information generated from a sheet (the cost sheet or an SOV). Consequently, the Find feature on the WBS Picker, Commit Line Item Picker, and SOV Picker works the same way as it does on manager sheets . For instructions on using these pickers, see "Searching Sheets".

To find a user in the User/Group Picker

1 Open the User/Group Picker.
2 The List Names from field shows the project/shell or company from which the users’ names will come. (This field is editable only by your company Administrator.)
3 Use the Show By field to restrict the search to users only, to groups only, or to both.
4 In the Search for field, enter a name, or partial name.
5 Click Search or press Enter.

Primavera Unifier uses the filters at the top of the Find window and searches the picker list according to the project/shell, or company specified in the List Names from field, as well as the Show By option you specify (users, groups, or both).

Primavera Unifier displays on the picker the names that met the search criteria you entered, and also displays above the list this line: Current View: <filtered by ...> [Cancel Filter].

Note: If you choose to, you can cancel the search action by clicking [Cancel Filter]. Primavera Unifier will restore the picker list.
