### Search
|
||||
|
||||
Imagine you need to find all usages of an Item in rules or pages.
|
||||
You could open all your rules and pages to check them, or just use the developer sidebar search.
|
||||
Enter your Item name, and you will see in which rules, scenes, scripts and pages that Item is used.
|
||||
|
||||
The developer sidebar is checking your search query non case-intensive against the following entities:
|
||||
|
||||
- Things
|
||||
- UID
|
||||
- label
|
||||
- Items
|
||||
- name
|
||||
- label
|
||||
- tags (requires exact match)
|
||||
- metadata namespaces (requires exact match)
|
||||
- Pages
|
||||
- uid
|
||||
- label
|
||||
- content (widgets, tabs, charts, etc. with their configuration)
|
||||
- Rules, Scenes & Scripts
|
||||
- Item name & Thing UID of triggers, actions & conditions
|
||||
- script code (e.g. Rules DSL, JavaScript, and even Blockly)
|
||||
- script MIME types (requires exact match)
|
||||
|
||||
### Pinned Objects
|
||||
|
||||
Let's say you are working on your lighting automations which involves Things, Items, and Rules.
|
||||
Instead of keeping a dozen browser tabs open and flipping between them you can pin these objects to the sidebar.
|
||||
In the search box at the top, enter a search term which can be part of an object's name, ID, label, etc.
|
||||
|
||||
Enter a search term in the search filed at the top to search within Items, Things, Rules, Scripts, Scenes and Pages.
|
||||
The search term can be part of an object's name, ID, label, etc.
