3.3 SEARCHING THE DATABASE
3.3.1 I
NTRODUCTION
When the database contains large amounts of data, it may become difficult to find
a specific element. The Xedio Suite offers several ways to speed up your search:
•
quick text search
•
filters on parameters
By default, the columns that are taken into consideration for the Quick Text
Search are the ones currently visible in the grid.
If you wish to search in other columns, and view the string you are searching for
in the columns, you can:
•
add other columns to the element list view
•
use Filters, as explained in section ‘Advanced Filters’ on page 17
These search tools are explained in detail below.
Quick text search and filters on parameters, as well as several filters on
parameters, can be combined and saved for later use. All the criteria must be met
in the results list (an ‘AND’ operator is applied). These Saved Filters can then be
applied in one click.
