The search method that you use depends on how much you
know about the record that you want to find. For example, you must
know the exact record ID to search by using the Find field
but need only a partial value to search by using wildcards.
Basic searches
You search for a single record or for a set of records
by using the search toolbar. You can also save your queries.
Advanced searches
You might want to specify your search by using Structured
Query Language (SQL) or by providing examples of the type of records
you are searching for. The Advanced Search menu
on the search toolbar provides these options.
Wildcards and operators for searching
You use special characters to search when you do not know
the entire value that you are searching for or when you want to specify
the type of information that you are searching for.
Navigation in location and asset hierarchies
Locations and assets are often defined in hierarchies.
When you need to specify a value from one of these hierarchies, you
can view a graphical representation of the items to select from.
