Global Search
The Neptune frontend is based on the SAPUI5 HTML5 framework. All HTML tags are generated by the framework, so frontend coding is done purely in JavaScript & CSS.
It’s vital that you developers can search and find code used in any corner of the Neptune platform. In the Neptune Cockpit, you’ll find the Global Search, where you can search for JavaScript code and CSS markup.
Development -> Tools -> Global SearchChoose if the search should be performed in JavaScript or CSS code, or both. In addition to the JavaScript or CSS search term, you can narrow down the search result by "ID" and "Updated By". All searches are done using wildcard and the search is case-insensitive. carrid will return the same search result as CARRID.
