Object Searching

An object represents something that you record and track in your repository. The primary objects in CA APM are models, assets, legal documents, contacts, companies, organizations, locations, and sites. At any time, you can search to find objects in the repository to manage. You can also search the audit history to see all changes made to an object record over time.

For example, you can search for objects for the following reasons:

Based on the search criteria that you specify, a list of matching objects appear in the search results.

Most of the time, the objects that you want to view or update appear with the default search provided for each object. This type of search is intended for when you want to locate a single record for update from a simple list of objects. For example, you can enter the serial number when searching for a laptop to find the laptop matching the serial number.

When you search, you can use search operators and search connectors to make your searches more precise and get more useful results.
