User interface elements are described below:

UI Element | Description
--- | ---
Find in Field | Indicates the field for ALM to search. Version Control: If the field is non-versioned (meaning, the field's data are not saved with each version), an asterisk (*) is displayed as a prefix to the field name in the Find in Field list. The checkout operation is bypassed when performing a Replace operation on non-versioned entities. For details on setting a field as a versioned/non-versioned, see the Micro Focus Application Lifecycle Management Administrator Guide: Versioned.
Value to Find | The field value for which ALM searches.
Replace with | Indicates the replacement field value.
Exact Match | Finds records with values that exactly match the specified search string. Note: Not enabled when the Find in Field element is set to a numeric field, for example Defect ID, or to a text field that contains rich text, for example Description.
Use Wildcard | Enables you to use asterisk (*) characters in your search string in order to type only part of the item. Note: Not enabled when the Find in Field element is set to a numeric field, for example Defect ID, or to a text field that contains rich text, for example Description.
Case Sensitive | Instructs ALM to distinguish between uppercase and lowercase characters. Note: Not enabled when the Find in Field element is set to a numeric field, for example Defect ID.
Replace | Replaces the specified field value for the selected record.
Replace All | Searches for and replaces the specified field value in all records displayed in the grid.
Find Next | Searches for the next record in the grid that matches the specified value. If the search is successful, the matching record is highlighted in the grid. If the search is unsuccessful, an information box opens.
