Implicit elements

We mentioned that 'find' is the default command. This means that we don't actually need to write that word in the Search Box. The following expression is equivalent to our last example:

--> device frame with VDA 7700ADA

Likewise, object names can be omitted if the arguments are not ambiguous. In this example, 'frame' is clearly a device. The following expression yields to the same result:

--> frame with VDA 7700ADA

In general we can always omit the command 'find' and we can also omit the OBJECT in cases when it can be implied from the argument's list. If the omitted object can not be implied, objects of all kinds (location, device, wire) will be returned.

Objects can also be implied by the expression's pattern. That is the case of wire numbers and location numbers.

The following entry:

--> C-123

Is equivalent to this:

--> find wire C-123

because the object 'wire' is directly implied from the argument's format.

Similarly, the following two entries are equivalent:

--> RK-27
--> find location rack RK-27

The following expression,

--> obsolete at rack RK-27

will return all devices and wires with status 'obsolete' found in rack RK-27. This is a case when the object has been omitted and can not be implied from the arguments list.
