# Opening Packages from Standard Interface

This section provides information on how to open packages from the standard interface using the Search Packages page, using portlets, or using the package links in email notifications.

## Opening Packages from Search Packages Page

To open a package using the Search Packages page:

1. Log on to PPM.

2. From the menu bar, select Open > Deployment Management > Search Packages.

   The Search Packages page opens.

3. Provide your search criteria, and then click Search.

   The Package Search Results page lists the packages that match the criteria you specified.

4. In the Pkg # column, click the package number for the package you want to open.

The detail page for that package opens.

## Opening Packages from My Packages Portlet

If the My Packages portlet is not displayed on one of your PPM Dashboard pages, you can add it. For information on how to add portlets to PPM Dashboard pages, see the Creating Portlets and Modules guide.

To use the My Packages portlet to open a package that you have created or a package that is assigned to you:

1. Log on to PPM.

2. From the menu bar, select Dashboard, and then select the name of a PPM Dashboard page that displays the My Packages portlet.

3. On the My Packages portlet, in the Pkg # column, select the number for the package you want to open.

The detail page for that package opens.

## Opening Packages Using Notification Links

In some cases, as a package moves through the steps in its workflow, email notifications are sent to alert you of pending actions for a package. If the notification includes a link to the package, click the link to open the referenced package in the PPM Workbench. (If you are not logged on to PPM, the Logon page opens.)
