Object search is done using a persistent search menu, and the search extends to all object types 7.2.2
Object search is done using a persistent search menu, and the search extends to all object types.
To use the persistent search menu to search objects:
- Go to Policy & Objects > Policy Packages and select a policy.
- In the policy table, users can click the double arrow icon (
) to open the Object Search panel, and search for objects.
You can also create or edit existing objects from the Object Search panel.
- From the search results, you can see which objects are configurable to which policy fields.

- Users can assign objects from the search panel to a policy by dragging and dropping the object into the corresponding column. FortiManager only supports the drag-and-drop object feature when the object is placed in the column of the came category. In the example below, the ALL_TCP Service object is drag-and-dropped into the Service column for the policy.
