3.1. Filtering Tools
When the database contains large amounts of data, it may become difficult to find a
specific element. The IPWeb offers several ways to restrict the list of elements displayed
in the Element grid/list and speed up your search:
• Branch selection in the Tree view - Select a branch of the Tree view to limit the list to
some item types.
• Quick text search - Enter free text in the Quick Text Search field to perform a search
on a specific string.
• Advanced search filter – Select specific criteria in the Advanced Search pane to
perform a search on a specific metadata of the elements.
All these search tools can be combined.
An applied filter can be saved for later use. Such a saved filter can then be applied in one
click.
A search can also be facilitated by ordering the Elements grid. See section "Elements
Grid / List" on page 11 for more information.
3.2. Branch Selection in the Tree
The Tree view allows browsing and performing search in the database and the nearline,
among all the clips, clips present in bins, or logs. By browsing the tree structure, a
selection is made and displayed in the Element grid/list.
See section "Tree View" on page 6 for a description of the user interface elements of the
Tree view.
3.3. Quick Text Search
3.3.1. Purpose and Context of Use
The Quick Text Search function is used to perform a search based on free text entered in
the Quick Text Search field. This field is available on the top of the Elements grid/list:
The Clip/Log icon, displayed on the top left of the Elements grid/list, depends on the
selection made in the tree: Clip icon for the All or Bins branches, Log icon for the
Logs branch. The search is performed on the branch selected in the Tree view.
