Search Functionality for Import Data Source Selection

BenHilgendorf

When setting up an import into a list or module, it would be useful to be able to search for a module/list/saved view when connecting to an Anaplan model on the "Select Source" section. I have a model with hundreds of modules and having to scroll through these modules every time I set up an import action can get tedious. An additional search bar above model selection could also be useful for workspaces that contain many models.

This would be a great help to builders. It will save lots of time if we can search desired source instead of scanning all items one by one, especially if we have a pretty large number of saved views.

This is a very helpful functionality.  When I realize that I have difficulty in finding the module or view that I need, I have to go to the Modules pane and search for the module so that I can guess where it is when I am back to Select Source section.

@BenHilgendorf , @andre.lie  @JLD  As a workaround just use the normal browser search function (hit "Ctrl+F") and search the name of the module or the saved view. You will be able to find it easily even there are a lot of modules/saved views. 

 

hope it helps

Agree that search filter is needed.  Workaround is very helpful.  Thanks for posting this.
