                            b.      Reference name

                            c.      Module name

                            d.      Resource name

When one of the above criteria is selected, the field next to the Get dropdown list becomes active. Then, you can specify an application or only part of an application, reference or module name. Only the applications that correspond to this criteria will be listed.

An advanced search option is also available that helps you to apply more sophisticated filtering criteria when searching for deployed applications.
