Choosing Items by Searching and Selecting

As you work in Team Central, you'll frequently need to choose an item or items that are in the database. For example, when you add an external file to a route, you select a folder to add the file to. When you add members to a workspace, you choose people and/or roles to add.

The system offers two ways to let you choose these kinds of items. If there may be many items from which you need to choose, the system lets you narrow the list of items by searching. For example, if you need to choose a person to add to a workspace, the system presents a search page so you can enter search criteria. If there are typically fairly few items, the system presents a select page so you can choose the items. For example, when specifying a folder to add a file to, you choose from a select page.

This section describes how to use these selection and search pages:
