5.7 Searching for a Report Definition

To search for a report definition in the Repository:

1. Type a search string in the Search text field.

   The search facility allows you to pass in search strings for any of the following items:

   Filter Value	Description
   Name	Performs a contains search. The search is case insensitive, and it uses the locale of the user.
   Description	Performs a contains search. The search is case insensitive, and it uses the locale of the user.
   Tags	Performs an exact string search. The search is case insensitive. Pass in a single tag only.

   You can enter one or more words in the Search field, with or without quotes:

   • If you enter multiple words without quotes, the search results include reports that contain all of the words anywhere in the Name or Description, or that have all of the words as tags (that match exactly).

     For example, suppose you enter the following:

     identity users

     In this case, the following report definitions are in the results:

     • Reports with a Name containing the words identity and users anywhere in the string

     • Reports with a Description containing the words identity and users anywhere in the string

     • Reports with Tags having both identity and users as exact tags

   • If you enter multiple words surrounded by double quotes, the search results include reports that include the entire phrase anywhere in the Name or Description, or that have a tag that matches the entire phrase.

     For example, suppose you enter the following:

     "identity users"

     In this case, the following report definitions are in the results:

     • Reports with Name containing the phrase identity users.

     • Reports with Description containing the phrase identity users.

     • Reports with a Tag that exactly matches identity users.
