Instead of manually opening<br \/>\nprojects and diagrams one by one, you can define search criteria and<br \/>\nretrieve matching content from across your workspace.<\/p>\n<p>The Query Base configurator supports four query levels:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Project:<\/strong> Search for a specific project in the repository.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Diagram:<\/strong> Narrow the search to diagrams within matching projects.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Element:<\/strong> Find model elements such as entities, tasks, or other diagram objects.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sub-element:<\/strong> Search detailed properties, such as entity columns or other element-level attributes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You can begin with a broad project-level search and progressively refine<br \/>\nit, skip intermediate levels, or start directly from an element or<br \/>\nsub-element query.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section>\n<h2>How to Open Query Base<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>Log in to your Visual Paradigm repository.<\/li>\n<li>Open <strong>Unified Platform<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Click the ellipsis button.<\/li>\n<li>Select <strong>Query Base<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Choose the workspace you want to explore.<\/li>\n<li>Enter the corporate dashboard.<\/li>\n<li>Click the magnifying glass icon in the upper-right corner to open the Query Configurator.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/section>\n<section>\n<h2>Build a Multi-Level Repository Query<\/h2>\n<p>The Query Configurator lets you combine search conditions across multiple<br \/>\nlevels. This makes it possible to start with a general repository search<br \/>\nand refine the results until you locate the exact model elements you need.<\/p>\n<h3>Example: Search by Project, Diagram, and Element<\/h3>\n<p>Suppose you want to find model elements related to a specific database<br \/>\ndesign. You can create a query using the following conditions:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Search for projects with a name containing <strong>data<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Within those projects, search for diagrams containing <strong>sales<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Within the matching diagrams, search for elements containing <strong>reason<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The results can identify entities and foreign key relationships containing<br \/>\nthe specified term in the Sales diagram under the matching database design<br \/>\nproject.<\/p>\n<p>This project-to-diagram-to-element approach is useful when you know the<br \/>\ngeneral location of a model element but need to narrow down a large<br \/>\nrepository quickly.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section>\n<h2>Skip Intermediate Query Levels<\/h2>\n<p>Query Base does not require you to use every query level. You can specify<br \/>\na project and search directly for elements or tasks without filtering the<br \/>\ndiagrams in between.<\/p>\n<h3>Example: Find Tasks Across BPMN Diagrams<\/h3>\n<p>To locate tasks in a BPMN model:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Search for a project with a name containing <strong>BP<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Search for tasks containing <strong>pizza<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>This type of query can return tasks located across multiple diagrams within<br \/>\nthe matching BPMN project. It is especially useful when the diagram<br \/>\ncontaining the required task is unknown.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section>\n<h2>Start a Query at an Intermediate Level<\/h2>\n<p>You can also begin directly with an element or sub-element query. This is<br \/>\nuseful when you know the property or object you are looking for but do not<br \/>\nneed to restrict the search to a particular project or diagram.<\/p>\n<h3>Example: Search Entity Columns by Type and Length<\/h3>\n<p>You can search for entity columns where the type contains<br \/>\n<strong>envir<\/strong> and the length is greater than or equal to<br \/>\n<strong>50<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>This approach is helpful for identifying database columns that meet<br \/>\nspecific design or data-definition requirements.<\/p>\n<h3>Example: Find Elements by Name<\/h3>\n<p>To search broadly across the repository, define a condition that finds any<br \/>\nelement whose name contains <strong>server<\/strong>. Query Base will return<br \/>\nmatching elements regardless of their project or diagram location.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section>\n<h2>Refine and Edit Search Filters<\/h2>\n<p>Query conditions can be adjusted directly when you need to modify the<br \/>\nsearch. For example, you can change an element-name filter from<br \/>\n<strong>server<\/strong> to <strong>customer<\/strong> to find customer-related<br \/>\nelements across multiple projects.<\/p>\n<p>Editing filters allows you to reuse an existing query structure instead of<br \/>\ncreating a new query from the beginning. This makes it easier to explore<br \/>\nrelated terminology, compare results, and investigate different areas of<br \/>\na model repository.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section>\n<h2>Work with Query Results<\/h2>\n<h3>Sort the Results<\/h3>\n<p>Click any column header in the results table to sort the returned records.<br \/>\nSorting helps you organize results by attributes such as project, diagram,<br \/>\nelement name, or other available fields.<\/p>\n<h3>Open Model Element Details<\/h3>\n<p>Select a result to open a detailed view of the corresponding model element<br \/>\nin a new browser tab. From there, you can inspect the element and its<br \/>\ncontext in the repository.<\/p>\n<h3>Export Results as JSON<\/h3>\n<p>Query results can be exported in JSON format. JSON export is useful when<br \/>\nyou need to process query data with other tools, create custom reports, or<br \/>\nintegrate repository search results into an external workflow.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section>\n<h2>Practical Query Base Workflow<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Define the search scope:<\/strong> Decide whether to search across a workspace, project, diagram, element, or sub-element.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Enter identifying terms:<\/strong> Use name fragments or property values that are likely to match the required content.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add constraints:<\/strong> Refine the query with additional conditions, such as element type, column type, or length.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Review the results:<\/strong> Inspect the result table and confirm that the returned projects, diagrams, and elements are relevant.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sort for easier analysis:<\/strong> Click a column header to organize the result set.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Open individual details:<\/strong> Select a result to investigate the model element in a separate browser tab.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Export when needed:<\/strong> Download the results as JSON for reporting, automation, or integration.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/section>\n<section>\n<h2>Benefits of Using Visual Paradigm Query Base<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Finds model elements quickly across a centralized repository.<\/li>\n<li>Supports project, diagram, element, and sub-element searches.<\/li>\n<li>Allows broad searches and highly specific property-based queries.<\/li>\n<li>Lets users skip intermediate query levels when appropriate.<\/li>\n<li>Makes it easy to revise filters and investigate related results.<\/li>\n<li>Provides sortable result tables for more efficient analysis.<\/li>\n<li>Opens detailed model information directly from search results.<\/li>\n<li>Exports query results as JSON for further processing and integration.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/section>\n<section>\n<h2>Summary<\/h2>\n<p>Visual Paradigm Query Base provides a flexible way to search and explore<br \/>\nrepository models. By combining project, diagram, element, and sub-element<br \/>\nconditions, you can locate specific model content without manually browsing<br \/>\nevery diagram. Whether you are looking for database entities, foreign key<br \/>\nrelationships, BPMN tasks, server-related elements, or columns that meet<br \/>\ndefined data constraints, Query Base helps you find and analyze the<br \/>\ninformation efficiently.<\/p>\n<p>After locating the required content, you can sort the results, open model<br \/>\nelement details, and export the result set as JSON for reporting,<br \/>\nautomation, or integration with other systems.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section>\n<h2>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n<h3>What can I search for with Query Base?<\/h3>\n<p>You can search for projects, diagrams, model elements, and sub-elements<br \/>\nsuch as entity columns. Search conditions can include names, types, and<br \/>\nother available properties.<\/p>\n<h3>Do I need to filter by project and diagram?<\/h3>\n<p>No. You can use multiple query levels, skip intermediate levels, or start<br \/>\ndirectly with an element or sub-element search.<\/p>\n<h3>Can Query Base search across multiple projects?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes. Broad element searches can return matching results from multiple<br \/>\nprojects in the selected workspace.<\/p>\n<h3>How can I inspect a matching model element?<\/h3>\n<p>Select the result in the query results table. The detailed view of the<br \/>\nmodel element will open in a new browser tab.<\/p>\n<h3>Can Query Base results be used outside Visual Paradigm?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes. You can export the query results as JSON for further processing,<br \/>\nreporting, or integration with other systems.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What Is Query Base?
