Search the Recycle Bin

You can query the Recycle Bin with a basic search or an advanced search. The basic search filters on the name when the entry is the whole name or a string that begins like certain names. The Advanced Search provides many search criteria.

Follow these steps:

1. Click the Library tab, contract the root folder, and select the Recycle Bin.

   All currently deleted automation objects and folders appear in the main pane.

2. Enter a string and an asterisk (*) in the search field and click Search to perform a basic search. For example, enter Custom* to limit the display to objects beginning with the string Custom.

   Folders and automation objects with names matching your entry appear in the filtered list.

3. Click Advanced Search to display attributes on which to search. You can enter one or more types of search criteria.
   • Keywords - Enter one or more keywords to find objects or folders that are assigned the specified keywords. If you specify more than one keyword, use the comma (,) as a delimiter.
     • To filter for objects that are tagged with any of the keywords you specify, select OR, the default.
     • To filter for objects that are tagged with all the keywords you specify, select AND.
   • Name - Name of the folder or automation object.
   • Owner - User ID of the object or folder owner. The default owner is the user who created the object. A new owner can be specified with Set Owner.
   • Type - Select an automation object type from the drop-down list.
   • State - Select a state from the drop-down list.
   • Modification Date - Use the calendars to select the date range during which the items you want displayed were modified.

4. Click Search.
