Data search can be achieved by running saved searches, using specific item searches or the advanced search.

A specific item search (search Land, search Activity, etc.) returns a list of all corresponding items that were entered in IMSMANG. The results list can be sorted out by clicking on the column headings.

The Advanced search allows for search definitions that correspond to more than one criterion and/or criteria group(s). Search definitions can include linked items (Victims linked to an Accident, etc.). A criterion consists of attribute, operator and value(s).

Searches defined with the Advanced search functionality may be saved for later use and are referred to as Saved Searches. This enables administrators to create advanced search definitions which may by all users.
