Search all resources in a selected class

Procedure

Select the class in the hierarchy tree within which you want to search for resources.

Determine the scope of the search by clicking the Search Scope button. By default, the scope is set to Hierarchy.

Choose Hierarchy to search within the selected class and all related child classes.

Choose Class to search only within the selected class.
