11. Searching the
Database
11.1 SEARCH TYPES
When the database contains large amounts of data, it may become difficult to find
a specific element. The Database Explorer offers several tools to speed up your
search:
• branch selection in the database tree
• quick timecode or text search
• grid filters
• clips not present in a selected playlist
These search tools are explained in detail below.
All these search tools can be combined and they can be saved for later use. These
Saved Filters can then be applied in one click.
11.2 BRANCH SELECTION IN THE DATABASE
TREE
The Database Explorer is presented in a tree structure, much like Windows
Explorer.
By browsing the tree structure, a selection is made. Click the + sign on a tree
branch icon to expand a branch.
When other search tools (Quick TC Search, Quick Text Search, Grid Filters of
Saved Filters) are already applied, these are limited to the selected branch.
