Using the Inventory Pages › Performing Searches › Search for a Managed Item

Search for a Managed Item

You can navigate directly to contextual information about a single item, such as a router that seems to be associated with a network issue. Search fields for data views let you search for items within selected views. You can search on dashboard pages and, if your user account has the required role rights, on Admin and Inventory pages.

Follow these steps:

1. Navigate to a dashboard or inventory page where you want to begin your search.

   Note: If you have the required role rights, you can also search in the Admin pages, including in the Groups tree on the Manage Groups page.

2. Enter a search string in the search field, and click Enter.

   You can supply a text string, a search string containing numbers, or a combination of both.

   Note: Wildcard characters are accepted in this field, such as an asterisk (*) for a multicharacter match.

   For more information, see Narrowing a Search with Filters.

   The search results appear within categories of similar items.

3. Click one of the items in the list.

   A Context page that contains information about the selected item opens.
