Search

Searching is used to filter and group objects. The results are shown in a table. If searching is possible on the page, a search box is displayed in the upper part of the working area. An example of this can be seen in Figure 3.
Figure 3: Search box
The search box consists of entry fields and drop-down menus. Enter the term you want to search for in the entry field. The entry fields adjust to the type of objects to be filtered.
You can use the placeholder * in the text fields for portions of the search text you do not wish to enter or cannot enter. Capitalization is not considered. The system searches for character strings in which the search text appears, regardless of where it is in the target text.
When searching for certain information, you can also use time and date as a search criterion. Time and date information is formatted according to the administration language. Use the function to enter the date by clicking the symbol.
The search fields are AND searched by default. In other words, a data set must meet all the criteria defined by the entries in the search fields and not just one of them.
Using the drop-down menu Display per Page you can set how many rows are displayed on each page in the table.
You can press the button for various functions. The standard buttons are as follows:
