Two Questions -Element search and Expand All

Is it possible to goto an Element just by searching for the Element ID #?

Secondly, can I Expand All/Collapse All tabs in the Outline View?

Hi TheRealDea,

What do you mean by "go to an element" in your first question?

In the outline window in the designer, you can collapse all by clicking on the arrow next to the report design at the top. I don't think there is an expand all option, though.

To the first qustion, I think what TheRealDea meant was how can we find an element by searching for its element ID, instead of clicking on every element until we find the one?

Sometimes when a report has errors, in Preview the errors will be specified in red font, with an Element ID specifying what element the error is referring to. How can we then take this ID and search to get to the element?

Thanks!

Evenstar,

I don't think there's a way to search the id numbers to find an element in the designer, if that's what you're meaning.. The error usually indicates something that would direct you to which element it is though.
