The Search field displays in the header region in upper right corner of most App Builder pages.

How the search field works depends upon the page you are on. Consider the following examples:

• Workspace home page - Search for application names.

• App Builder home page - Search for application metadata across all applications.

• Application home page - Search for application metadata across the current application.

• Team Development home page - Search the Team Development home page and other pages within Team Development.

• Workspace Administration home page - Search for users.

Within App Builder and on the Application home page, use the following special syntax to navigate to a specific page or search for a regular expression:

page
application_ID:page
application_ID-page
regexp:expression

Where:

• application_ID is the numeric identification number (or ID) that identifies an application.

• page is the numeric identification number that identifies a specific page.

• regexp: is literal text.

• expression is a regular expression to search for.

The following example navigates you to page 10 of application 570:

10
570-10
570:10

You can also use this syntax to navigate to the Shared Components page of a given application:

application_ID:s
application_ID-s

Where:

• application_ID is the numeric identification number (or ID) that identifies an application.

The following example demonstrates how to navigate to the Shared Components page of application 570:

570:s
570-s

The Administration menu displays to the right of the Global Search field and features an outline person with a wrench. Clicking this menu displays the following options:

• Administration links to the Workspace Administration page. To access the Oracle Application Express development environment, users sign in to a shared work area called a workspace. Workspace administrators monitor and administer a workspace. Common workspace administration tasks include managing service requests, configuring workspace preferences, creating workspace announcements, managing session state, creating user accounts, and managing groups.

• Manage Service displays a submenu of options on the Manage Service page. Administrators use the Manage Service page to manage service requests, configure workspace preferences, edit workspace announcements, and view workspace utilization reports.

• Manage Users and Groups links to Manage Users and Groups page. Workspace administrators can create new user accounts, manage existing user accounts, and change user passwords.

• Monitory Activity links to the Monitor Activity page. Use this page to monitor changes to page views, developer activity, page view analysis, and active sessions. It also shows reports on such information as login attempts and external click counts.

• Dashboards links to the Dashboard page. Use this page to view details about the current workspace and monitor users, activity, developer activity, performance, Websheet application development, application development, and view database details.

• Change My Password links to the Change Password section of the Edit Profile dialog box.

The Account menu displays in the upper right corner of the page and features an outline of a person. The Account menu displays your username, current workspace, and user role. If Single Sign On (SSO) is enabled, the link Change Workspace also appears. Key controls on this menu include:

• Edit Profile. Click Edit Profile to edit your first and last name, upload or choose a photo image, alter your email address (if SSO is not enabled), and reset your password.

  Tip:

  If you are using Single Sign-on authentication, Change Workspace also displays. Click Change Workspace to view a list of workspaces you have access to.

• Preferences. Click Preferences to change your default schema, default date format, and control how App Builder runs applications.

• Sign Out - Click Sign Out to log out the current workspace.
