Tech Tip: Quickly identify and locate specific elements in the Application Modeller, even when the structure is complex or naming conventions are unclear.
When working with elements in the Application Modeller, it can sometimes be challenging to identify a specific element. This can happen due to inconsistent naming conventions, poorly structured elements, or if you're a new developer unfamiliar with the setup. Even developers who are familiar with the object might face difficulties locating elements,.
Here’s a simple approach to make this process easier:
This technique saves time and effort, making it easier to work with existing elements regardless of how they are structured in the Application Modeller.
To illustrate this scenario, I intentionally used similar names for most of the elements in the Application Modeller. This setup highlights how difficult it can be to identify the exact element in the Application Modeller, even when searching through the Application Explorer.
By using the Show in Application Explorer functionality, you can quickly locate and highlight the specific element, streamlining the process even in cases where naming conventions are unclear or elements are poorly structured.
I’ve observed that many developers often skip using this feature, instead relying on manual methods to locate and identify the element.
