All searches are done through criteria such as « field, operator and value ». Available operators are accessible with the « & » button.

 

In the previous example (« Guide») you have automatically used the “contains” operator. When clicking on “Submit” you got all the “parts” for which the field “title” contained “Guide”.

 

You can define a default operator. This default operator will apply to all searches where no operator was specified.  This default operator will be reused for your future connections (unless modified).

 

You can access the options by clicking on the «Settings» icon on the Lascom AEC toolbar.

 

The toolbar is located in the top right corner of Lascom AEC screen.

 

 

o    Click on « Settings»

 

o   Select the value of your choice

o   Click on “Update” to save

If you choose the « Equal » operator as default = you must enter the full text that you search if you want your search to return results.

 

For example = you must enter « Guide» if you search “parts” for which title value is « Guide ». If you only enter “Guide” then no results will be returned.

 

If you choose the « contains » operator as default = you must enter some letters of the text that your search if you want your search to return results.

 

For example = if you enter « Guide » you will find all « parts » in which title field contains «Guide»

       Why does your search not bring any results?

Several possible reasons:

 

       There are no data that correspond to your query

       There are data but the associated objects belong to other project than that you are currently connected to (remember you are filtered with the « current project »)

         You criteria are too restrictive or combination of these criteria is wrong.

In all cases you will get following message

 

You can « refine search » if you want to modify your search criteria.

       Result page

If the search is successful, the results are displayed as a list of objects.

User can sort the result list by clicking on the column header (for instance “Display Name”).
