4.3 USING FILTERS TO SEARCH THE
DATABASE
4.3.1 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 27
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.
