Search for objects

In the list of objects in the Library you can choose to search for objects with this option:

When you type a search text then only objects and folders, that contains that text are listed below. The search is only done on the folders and objects, that are currently shown. If you e.g. have an object in sub-folder, that match this search, then this object will not be shown.

Edit file contents

Several of the files, that are loaded into the Library as text based and it is possible to edit the contents of these files directly in InterFormNG2.

This is possible for these object types: Documents, Mail templates, Transforms, Validation rules and Others foer which a simple, generic text editor is available. Even Translation files can be edited directly, but a specific editor for that is included.

Please note, that this is a simple text editor. It does not verify the syntax of the file, so you need to ensure yourself, that the file is still valid after you have made your changes.
