*'''saved''' searches which are prepared by information managers for usage by all users.
Saved searches simplifies the user experience and ensures consistency of use by sharing identical searches with all users. Of cause course all users have the possibility ability to saved save searches which is convenience a convenient way to re-use favourite searches.
Particularly, creating saved searches facilitate facilitates access to programme data and reporting . Reporting is a key component of implementing and managing a mine action programme’s information workflow.
The {{IMSMANG}} version 6.0 database is pre-populated with saved searches developed by GICHD that may be customised to meet the specific needs of the mine action programme.
==Simple Searches==__NOEDITSECTION__
The simple search options in the Search menu function exactly as all other filters in {{IMSMANG}}:, see [[Search Items]].
#==Advanced Searches==__NOEDITSECTION__The different types of search criteria (e.g. subobject and geo area) are described in [[Search by Subobject]] and [[Search by Map Area]], respectively. The item that you want possibility to filter on needs use AND / OR and to be added to the filter combo box with the column picker#Select the item in specify the combo box and specify search parts makes the criterion#Click on ApplyAdvanced searches very flexible.
Examples of simple ==Using Prompt==__NOEDITSECTION__When the prompt function is used in Advanced searches / filters:*filter Land which Land ID contains “101”*filter victims on gender*filter Activities done the re-usability and user-friendliness are greatly increased. For example, if a user wants to find all progress reports submitted by the Organisation "DDGXYZ" organisation and another user wants to have the same search but for the " ABC organisation, it is better to save one search and prompt on Organisation.
==Using Search ParametersSQL criteria==__NOEDITSECTION__When a While the {{IMSMANG}} search functionality is designedextremely flexible allowing searches on CDFs, it can be given a name customised option list values and description and then saved for later use. Saving a search saves the criteria of the search rather than the search results. This means that searches links among items, there are automatically updated when additional data is added cases where users may want to the system, ensuring run more complex searches that searches return cannot be built using the most up-to-date dataAdvanced search interface. For examplethese cases, an information manager can build {{IMSMANG}} includes a special SQL search called “Open Lands” criteria that finds 25 lands with a status of “Open.” If 10 additional lands are entered into the system with a status of “Open,” the search would find 35 records when it is run again. In this way, searches are dynamically updated as data is added to the system, allowing allows information managers to assess data trends over time using consistent search criteria. Information managers can also use an existing search a SQL query as a template to create other searches by using the “Save as” functionalityfilter criteria.
Search parameters allow users to change one or more search Creating searches using SQL criteria when running requires a search. For example, if a user wants to find all progress reports submitted by “XYZ” organisation, they can build a search for “XYZ progress reports.” If another user wants to search for progress reports submitted by “ABC” organisation, they can build another search for “ABC Progress Reports.” Alternatively, an information manager can build one search with a parameter for “Organisation” that allows users to provide different values for the organisation when running detailed understanding of PostgreSQL's SQL syntax and the search. This makes one search, for example, “Progress Reports by Organisation,” available for multiple purposes{{IMSMANG}} data model. The ability to build dynamic searches allows information managers to customise search capabilities to meet Your [[Information Management Team | GICHD IM Advisor]] may support you in developing the needs of various stakeholders within their programmesSQL.
{{note|Searches can include geospatial data as a parameter which allows users to define To use SQL criteria, simply provide a geospatial extent to search within. For the purposes of searching, records without geospatial data are defined as “outside” valid SQL statement in the geospatial extent}} following format:
==Building Complex Searches==__NOEDITSECTION__While the {{IMSMANG}} search functionality is extremely robust—allowing searches on CDFs, customised option list values and links among items— there are some cases where users may want to run more complex searches that cannot be built using the standard search interfaceSELECT [item_guid] FROM [item_table] WHERE. For these cases, {{IMSMANG}} includes a special Structured Query Language (SQL) search functionality that allows information managers to provide SQL syntax for executing searches. Creating searches using SQL criteria requires a detailed understanding of relational databases, SQL and the {{IMSMANG}} data model and should only be undertaken by advanced users.
To use The SQL query may be complex with left joins and subqueries but may only have '''one''' output column which should be the item_guid of the Search target i.e if your search target is Land then only output column should be hazard_guid. {{note| We strongly recommended to develop and test the SQL query with a SQL tool before pasting it into the SQL criteria, simply since {{IMSMANG}} does not provide a valid SQL statement in the following format:debugging support. }}
SELECT [item_guid] FROM [item_table] WHERE==Saved Searches==__NOEDITSECTION__Saving a search saves the criteria of the search rather than the search results.This means that searches are automatically updated when additional data is added to the system, ensuring that searches are returning results using the updated data..For example, SELECT hazreduc_guid FROM hazreduc WHERE hazreduc_localID =’ÇL-001’
Using SQL criteria, information managers can design complicated searches that can then be saved and run by users with no understanding of SQL. In this way, ==Inspiration Saved Searches==__NOEDITSECTION__{{IMSMANG}} unleashes the full power version 6.0 database is pre-populated with 40 different data quality Saved searches of SQL criteria, joins and subqueries in an easy-different kinds:* suspected duplicates** e.g "Victim Duplicate Name & Date Of Birth"* items without any geographical data** e.g. "Accident Without Geodata"* items that do not have any links to other items** e.g. "Assistance Without Links To Victim"* items which are assigned to-run interfacedifferent locations** e.g. "Land & Activity Not Same Location"* task as Search target** e.g. "Land Included In More Than One Task"* possible mine action process quality issues** e.g."Status Open with links to Activity or QM"
{{note|* It is recommended that information managers test their SQL in an external SQL editor prior These Saved searches should be seen as '''inspiration''' and should be adapted to using it within {{IMSMANG}} since {{IMSMANG}} does not provide SQL debugging supporteach mine action programme's processes.* Information managers can build complicated queries using SQL and combine them with other criteria, including parameters, to provide virtually unlimited search capabilities to {{IMSMANG}} users}}
