A. TYPES OF SEARCHING

 

Lists within EGMS provide both a quick and advanced search capability.

Quick Search

A quick search can be added by simply typing in a full or partial string. Only records with matching data will then appear.

Advanced Search

Advanced search allows a more complex set of search criteria. This feature supports all available fields and allows multiple criteria to be entered.

The Advanced search section allows users to enter additional filter criteria. There are three values users can populate here to narrow the results list:

  1. Column Name - The values here will populate based upon the table that the user is viewing. Each of the columns in the table that is available for filtering will be listed.
  2. Operator - The options available here will differ based upon the data type for the column selected. Text fields will show operators such as Contains, Starts with, and Ends with. Numeric fields will show Equals to, Greater than, Less than, Greater than or equal to, and Less than or equal to. Other options may also be available depending upon the data type of the selected field.
  3. Value - This is where users enter the value that they would like to use for filtering the selected column.
