FlexNet Manager Suite 2020 R2 (On-Premises)
Searches cover every text-based column (not dates, and not purely numeric
fields) currently displayed in the fly-down list that shows when you start your
search. You can include (or exclude) a column from your search by moving it in from
(or out to) the column chooser for the search results list. A choice like this
remains in place for future use in your searches until you change it again.
Tip: Your search terms must be all found in any one of the columns
displayed.
Important: The Fly-down always searches data that is already in your
operations databases. For example, searching for a user name searches the
records already imported into your operations databases, and does not gather
user names directly from Active Directory.
- Enter some text in the search field. Searches are not case sensitive. (Leave the search field
blank to list everything, but that may take longer and bring back far too many
results to be useful.)
Tip: You must at least click in the search field to activate the Search button.
You may use:
The start of words.
More than one (partial) word, separated by spaces. These match in any order, so that
Wo Micr matches Microsoft
Word. (You don’t need a wildcard at the end of a
partial word, as they are supplied automatically.)
-
Click the Search
button (or press Return or Enter to complete your
typing).
The area below the search field expands, and displays a list of results
matching your search. As always, with the controls at top right of the list,
you can filter the results, group them by any displayed column, or change
which columns are visible.
Tip: If you change your mind and don't want to select any values,
click the X close box in the top right corner of the
search fly-down.
- Select the record(s) you want using one of the following
methods:
For a single item, you may double-click the
row in the list of search results.
For one or more items, select the check box at the left of each chosen row. When you are
satisfied with the selections, click Add
item(s) above the list.
The list of search results closes, and your selected value(s) are displayed. For a single-value
field, the
Search button disappears, making it easier to read the values you have selected.
Tip: To search again so that you can change the contents of
a single-value field, just click in the field first to give it
focus.
