Exporting a Search Result
After conducting a search it is possible to export the search result by clicking the Export Search Result button at the bottom of the Search tab.
When clicking the Export Search Result button, STEP will attempt to use all the objects in the result as root objects for the Export Manager (equaling selecting the objects on the Product Selection step of the Export Manager). The actual objects exported are determined by the selected Export format and the selections made in the Export Manger. For more information using the Export Manager, refer to the Export Manager topic in the Data Exchange documentation here.
Saving a Search Result as a Collection

Bulk Updating a Search Result
