Searching by description in ADT

[matt]

Currently, if I'm looking for a Data Element - for example - I open SAP Gui and use the Repository Information System (or search in SE11). There I can search for Data Elements by description, size, type etc.

However, with RAP, there is no SAPGui - so how can I do the same from within ADT?

This is not limited to Data Elements, I often search for classes, methods etc. in the same way.

Hi Matthew,

you're right. Of course it is possible either with your proposal or even by combining the different tables in one single CDS view with hopefully acceptable performance. Our thoughts have been revolving around this matter for years.

And yes, I think we will implement some more object type specific properties.

Let's see what the future brings.

When a discussion is started, you may use the button Comment instead of Answer to keep it easy to follow by everyone.

Thank you!

Hi Sandra,
I would call that bad usability. Of course I wanted to answer the comment. But there is no "Answer" available below the comment. And there is also no "Comment" available below the comment. Instead I have to go up and press the "Comment" below my answer even if I didn't want to comment my answer. That's weird. Do You know where I can complain about this usability issue?

Regards,
Michael
