Sample queries

To search through the (supported) attributes of the supported entities, enter a relevant search term in the Quick search field. An auto-completion list appears while you are typing the text, showing some matching entities (see below). Note that this list does not contain all matching results.

Select a result from the auto-completion list to view its attributes.

Press the Enter button to view the complete list of matching search results (see the [figure].
Click on a search result in the list to open a corresponding administration view with the entity's attributes.

If the system found only one matching result, pressing Enter brings you directly to the corresponding administration view with the entity's attributes.

Besides searching in all supported attributes, you can restrict the query to one specific attribute. To do so, enter <attribute name>:<search term> in the Quick search field. Examples:

To search for users or applications whose name starts with apple, enter name:apple in the Quick search field.
To search for users whose e-mail address starts with test, enter email:test in the Quick search field (see the [figure].

It is also possible to restrict the search to customer-defined properties. To search through all properties, enter <*property>:<search term> in the _Quick search field. To restrict the search to a specific property, enter the property name as prefix in the Quick search* field: <property name>:<search term>.

Examples:

To search for users who have a property value that contains the text apple, enter the search expression *property:apple in the Quick search* field.
To search for users whose user_prop property contains the text apple, enter the search expression user_prop:apple in the Quick search field.

Other possible search filters are:

State (active, disabled, archived) – only possible for users and units
Modification/creation date – only possible for users
Type of entity (User, Client, Application, Unit)

Some examples of a search for users or units based on their state:

To search for active users or units, enter the search term state:active in the Quick search field.
To search for disabled users or units, enter the search term state:disabled in the Quick search field.
To search for archived users or units, enter the search term state:archived in the Quick search field.

Some examples of a search for users based on their modification/creation date:

To search for users created during the past seven days (including the current day), enter the search term created:lastWeek in the Quick search field.
To search for users modified during the past seven days (including the current day), enter the search term modified:lastWeek in the Quick search field.
To search for users created during a given date range, enter the search term created:[<yyyymmdd TO yyyymmdd>] in the Quick search field. E.g., created:[20100501 TO 20110501\.
To search for users modified during a given date range, enter the search term modified:[<yyyymmdd TO yyyymmdd>] in the Quick search field. E.g., modified:[20100501 TO 20110501\

Some examples of a search that is restricted to a certain type of entities:

To restrict a search for the text customer to the Users type of entity only, enter the search term customer AND type:user in the Quick search field.
To restrict a search for the text customer to the Users and Applications types of entity only (excluding the Units and Clients types of entity), enter the search term customer AND (type:user OR type:application) in the Quick search field.
