How To

There are four different search functionalities in IMSMANG:

  • Search Items
  • Advanced Search
  • Saved Searches
  • Data Entry Form Audit

The Search Items a.k.a. Simple search are found in the Search menu and as indicated by its nick-name with this search functionality it is only possible to use one criterion and one item.

The Advanced Search functionality allows for search definitions that are built with more than one criterion, AND/OR and linked items. The criteria may also be grouped into advanced AND/OR groups. It is also possible to use SQL statement, geographical search and subobjects (e.g. which Ordnance was reported).

Saved Searches are defined with the Advanced search functionality and are saved in the database for later use. This enables users to create search definitions which may used by all users. Saved searches are also input to reports.

The Data Entry Form Audit is a dedicated search functionality for Data entry form where it is possible to search by action, date, Id and template.
