Hi,

I'm using a certain entity template I created for a special type of entity.
As I write, I use the various templates I have created.

How do I see all entities that are using a specific template?

I though it would be listed under references, but viewing a template there is only the ability to edit the template, not see all references that use it.

Hi.

There are two ways to achieve this:

1.) Using the "Match Query" filter in the search panel. Put the following text in the query field:

Template(anyof, TemplateName1, TemplateName2)


2.) Using calculated reference strips in templates. If you want to look up entities of a certain template quite frequently, you might create an Entity called "Search" and equip it with a template that uses calculated reference strips. A calculated reference strip works exactly as the query-based search above, and it uses the search results to populate a reference strip automatically. If you like this option, please check this help center article.

Did this help?

Excellent, thanks! I didn't know about the advanced search criteria. I recommend you include a note that advanced searching is possible in one of the tutorials. I went through every tutorial thinking it gave me a complete overview of the software.

This will help me see all my battles at once now!

Great to hear that. Thank you, LordYabo!

Regarding tutorials: You are right. We'll be adding a bunch of new tutorials for the latest feature additions. Some of the most recent features aren't yet fully covered.
