Search for objects using object properties

It is easiest to filter the search results using the left pane of the Resource Search dialog box. However, not all attributes show in this pane.

In addition to performing simple text searches, you can define search criteria to refine the results of global searches. You can use this technique to search for resources based on any property on the object. Multiple properties can be specified at once.

The most basic syntax involves specifying the property name, a colon, and its value. Strings with spaces in them should be inclosed in double quotes and the asterisk is the wild card. For additional advanced syntax, see the Tips on searching in the Active Workspace documentation.

For example:

Procedure

1. Open the Resource Search dialog box.

2. (Optional) Filter based on the resource name beginning with wrench by typing wrench in the search box.

3. (Optional) Filter based on the manufacturer by typing Manufacturer:Acme in the search box.

4. (Optional) Filter based on the owner and application type Owner:me00; "Application Type":"Material Handling" in the search box.
