Admin Search

This page describes Admin Search. See Tree Search for an alternative method.

Simply describe what you are looking for in plain English and the results show just the matching items. Search across a wide range of attributes, not just names: what something is, how it is configured, and its current state.

Combine searches with semi-colon delimited conditions such as dormant watches; watches with an upstream of > 100MB; cameras.

You can also save the searches you run most often and recall them in a click.

Item	function

example: containers with maintenance

Text may be struck through to indicate it's not needed for the search. So, in the above example, "containers maintenance" works the same as "containers with maintenance"

example: 5 items found

A bar appears under the search criteria showing the total items found and to indicate the results list below is filtered.

No matching items

Searches returning "No matching items" are logged and reviewed to see if the search function can be improved

Geographic searching

The search functionality allows for "locations in the UK" or "watches in the US". This is based on the time zone setting on the location or watch's location and is in beta.
