Searches and Reports
Searches are run from the Search pane.
There are three types of searches you can run:
A quick search lets you search for an object based on a word or phrase contained in the object's properties. For example, you might run a quick search for all documents that have "DGN" in the document name.
An extended search lets you narrow the search for an object by entering additional search criteria. For example, you might run an extended search for all documents that have "DGN" in the document name, modified between certain dates, and with a particular approval status.
A user-defined report is a search that you define and save so that it can be run again later by you or other users. This is useful if you have a particular search (whether simple or complex) that you need to run over and over; rather than re-entering the same search criteria each time you want to run the search, you define the search criteria once, save the search, and then just run it when you need it. (In AssetWise Director, these searches are also known as interactive reports, or interactive searches, or saved searches.)
When you run a search, the results display in the Content pane. Each row in the search results represents an object that was found.
