Searching for a Class

  • Create a New entry in the class. See Creating a New Class Member.

  • Access Power Search. See Using Power Search

  • View the class. See Viewing Classes

The Category Browser Page contains two tabs:

  • Browser Category: Contains a list of the available classes, in a class hierarchy. You can search for specific classes using the Category field and the Search button.

  • Category Index: Contains an alphabetical list of the available classes.
