with names that match the search criteria.

somewhere in the element's name. For example, if you search for customer, both Customer Count and Average Revenue per
Customer are displayed. Selecting the Match
case check box returns items only that match the case (upper or
lower) of the text that you enter in the Search
for field.
You can search for elements beginning with specific letters, elements
with specific attribute form values, and so on. The table below lists

If the Available list and the Selected
list are displayed, select elements from the Available
list and click the Add icon
