## 10.3. Searching for an Object by its Path

When you know the path to an object that resides in EKM, you can enter or paste it in the search box to navigate to the object directly. This includes objects in sections outside of the Data section, such as Jobs and Processes.

When entering a path, ensure that you use the following format: /`section`/`page`/`file or folder name`. For example, to navigate to the Sample Files folder on the Shared Data page, you would enter `/Data/Shared Data/Sample Files` in the search box. Similarly, if you wanted to navigate to a particular job you would enter `/Jobs/Job Monitor/`jobname``.

If you do not use the correct format (for example, if you do not include the forward slash at the beginning of the path), the entry will be considered to be a keyword instead.

If you use the correct format but the path is invalid, you will see an error message similar to the following:

A path may be invalid if spelling or case does not match exactly, or if the object no longer exists.

If instead you want to search for files that contain a certain path, insert double quotation marks around the path when entering it in the search box.
