Find Date

Searching for model elements based on the date it was created or modified.

Context

You can search for model elements which were created or modified in a particular time frame in the Find dialog.

You can limit the search to certain editors. If you enter a name in the Restrict to User drop-down list as user, then you can find changes made by users who have already been deleted and find elements that have been imported from another model.

How to proceed

Select the Start>Browse>Find>Find Date command.

The Find dialog appears and the Find Date tab is activated.
Activate the Last modified radio button if you want to search for recently modified model elements. If you do not do this, newly-created model elements are searched for.
Select a start and end date from the calendar fields for the time frame to be used.
Select the user who created or modified the model element being searched for from the Restrict to User drop-down list. (all) means there are no constraints. You can also enter a name. You can use this method to find changes made by deleted users, as well as elements imported from another model.
If you want to constrain the search to selected elements and their successors, e.g. a package, then activate the Only within the selected elements check box in the Search options group.

If you do not do this, then the whole model is searched through.
If you want the search hits to replace the previous content in the result region, then activate the Overwrite result region check box in the Search options group.

If you do not do this, then the results are added to the previous results.
Click on Find.

The dialog box remains open to continue your search or add new entries. You can continue to work normally in the model while the search is being carried out.
