Working with the data model

- To find a data object in a category: Click Find
, and then enter the keyword you want to search in the field. You can search by the name, description, or attribute group name. When you click Done, the search is cleared and all of the data objects in the category are displayed again.Tip: If you don't click Done after doing a search, the search is saved when you navigate to other areas of Oracle Unity. For example, if you search for data objects in the Profile object group, navigate to the Jobs dashboard, and go back to the Data model page and click the Profile tab, the search you previously did will still be there.
