Search for Objects

At any time, you can search to find objects in the repository to manage. For example, you can search for a model and define an asset from the model. Based on the search criteria that you specify, a list of matching models appear in the search results.

To search for objects

  1. Click the tab and optional subtab for the object that you want to find.
  2. In the Search Criteria area, specify the search criteria.
  3. (Optional) In the Search Criteria area, click Advanced.
  4. Click the Edit icon to specify the search criteria:
    Left Parenthesis

    Determines if left parentheses are used to group search criteria and control the logic of the search. For example, you can select this check box to search for assets in which the asset name is OE001 or both the asset family is Computer and the asset name is Dell.

    Operator

    Determines the standard search operators to use to find objects. For example, you can search for assets in which the asset name is greater than OE001 and the asset family is Computer.

    Value

    Determines the specific field value that you want to find. For example, you can search for an asset in which the asset name is OE001.

    Note: When you enter a search value in combination with the Like or Not Like operators, you can use all supported wildcard characters to expand your search.

    Right Parenthesis

    Determines if right parentheses are used to group search criteria and control the logic of the search. For example, you can search for assets in which the asset name is OE001 or both the asset family is Computer and the asset name is Dell.

    Connector

    Determines the standard connectors to use to find objects. For example, you can search for assets in which the asset name is OE001 or both the asset family is Computer and the asset name is Dell.

  5. Click the Complete icon to accept your search criteria changes.
  6. Click Go.

    A list of matching objects appears in the search results.
