To view an element without creating a project, follow these steps:

  1. Select the repository and click the search icon.
    The Search dialog is displayed.

  2. Enter the Type and Element or leave the default asterisk (*).

    Notes:

    • After you make a change the following comboboxes are re-populated to exclude options that no longer match the search criteria.
