3.1 Search Types
When the database contains large amounts of data, it may become difficult to find a
specific element. The IPBrowse 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.
•
Advanced search filter – Select specific criteria in the Advanced Search pane to
perform a search on a specific metadata of the elements.
•
Quick text search - Enter free text in the Quick Text Search field to perform a search
on a specific string.
These search tools are explained in detail below.
All these search tools can be combined.
Later on, users will be able to save an applied filter for later use and then apply such a
Saved Filter in one click.
A search can also be facilitated by ordering the Elements grid/list. Refer to section 2.6 for
more information.
3.2 Branch Selection in the Tree
The database content is presented in a tree structure, much like Windows Explorer.
The Tree view allows browsing and performing search in the database, among all the
clips, clips present in bins, or logs. Click the arrow next to a tree branch to expand a
branch. By browsing the tree structure, a selection is made and displayed in the Element
grid/list.
If a Quick Text search has been applied to a branch and not cleared, the filter is
remembered when this branch is selected again.
Refer to section 2.2 ‘Tree View’ on page 6 for a description of the user interface elements
of the Tree view.
