Finding and adding a study object to a study or library and saving the search
In a library, you can create, save, and publish study objects, and then use the Libraries Browser to copy them into studies or other libraries. You can also copy study objects created in studies into libraries.
To search using the Libraries Browser, select a library, study, or study object in the Project Explorer.
Note: To view all results, search without entering criteria. Depending on the size of the repository, this search might take several minutes.
To add a study object to a study or library from the Libraries Browser:
- Open a study or library.
- In the Project Explorer, select any study object except the library project or study project.
- Select the Libraries Browser.
- Optionally, to name the search:
- Select Actions > New Search. The Actions menu is located at the top of the browser.
The New search dialog box appears.
- Type a name for the search, and click OK.
The name of the search appears on a tab to the right of the browser.
- To search by title, RefName, or description of the study object, type text in the Enter search text field.
- To include categories, keywords, and libraries as parameters:
- Click the double down arrows (
) next to the Search Filter. - Optionally, select the Categories tab, and select one or more categories.
- Optionally, select the Keywords tab, and select one or more keywords. For more information about categories and keywords, see Categorization of study objects.
- If you are in a study project, select the Libraries tab, and select the libraries to search. You must select at least one library. This step is optional if you are in a library project.
The parameters you select appear in the field below the Search Filter.

The Central Designer application performs a search based on your search criteria.
For more information about how searches work, see Libraries Browser searches.
- Make sure the Project Explorer is selected.
- From the Libraries Browser, do one of the following:
- To add the study object to a parent (for example, add an item to a form)—Drag the study object to the parent study object.
- To add the study object outside the hierarchy of the study (available in a library)—Drag the study object to the folder for the study object. For example, drag a study event to the Events folder.
The result depends on the type of project to which you added the study object. For more information, see Results of adding study objects to studies and libraries from the Libraries Browser.
Note: Study objects are added to the bottom of the list of child study objects under the parent.
