Advanced Search

The Advanced Search feature allows you to search the Workspace database on any combination of fields and advanced criteria. FootPrints automatically generates the Advanced Search form for each workspace, with all of the custom and built-in fields for that Workspace included. For example, if a new field is added by the Workspace Administrator, the field is included automatically on the Advanced Search form. In the same way, if a field is deleted from the workspace, it is removed from the Advanced Search page.

To perform an Advanced Search, click Advanced below the Quick Search dialog. This form contains a combination of text fields, drop-down boxes, multi-select dialogs, and radio buttons which allow you to search on any combination of criteria. Each field acts as a filter. Only fill in or choose the criteria you want to search on. Any field that you do not want to perform a search on should remain untouched. Some Boolean operators can be used within in text fields.
