Supported operators: = > < >= <=

Syntax: field:<fieldName><operator><value> , e.g.:

  • field:"pH Value">=5

  • field:Temperature=25

  • field:"Colour of Sample"="Light Blue"

  • field:"Supplier Address"="London Bridge, United Kingdom"

  • field:Date=2025-06-04

    • Note that Date fields can only support the = operator

  • field:Reference=ref(entity_id,version)

    • version is optional, if it is not included it will show all references to any version of that entity. If it is included it will only show references to that specific version of the entity.

By Users

Users can be searched using createdBy and lastUpdatedBy

  • The filter drop down menu can be used

  • Multiple users selectable (e.g. all entities createdBy either person A or person B)

Search statements can be manipulated further to combine keywords and properties with AND and OR statements.

Saved Views

Searches can be saved as views that can be easily accessed in the 'Saved Views' tabs on the navigation bar. Type in your search variables, and click .

If a search filter has been edited in a view, a blue dot will appear on the top right corner, and will only disappear once the view has been saved.

Manage your Saved Views in the 'Settings' page. You are also able to add new view groups, rename view groups, and remove view groups.

It is possible to create a chart based on search results, and export your view as a CSV.
