Find project resources

When you want to search for TeamForge objects such as tracker artifacts or documents, you can quickly search using a unique identifier or a keyword or you can perform an advanced search.

Tip: In addition to the Jump to ID search, you can select an object category from the drop-down list and search within the selected object category. You can also select Advanced Search from the drop-down list to perform an advanced search.
  1. Log on to TeamForge.
    Note: If you are not logged on, you can search only projects and items that have been designated public.
  2. If you know the unique identifier of an object and want to quickly go to the object, type the unique identifier in the Jump to ID text box and click the search icon.
    Note: The default quick search option is Jump to ID.
  3. If you want to do a keyword search of a specific object type (such as documents or discussions), type the keyword in the text box, select an object type from the drop-down list and click the search icon. The following table lists the search-able object types you can select from the drop-down list.
