Search for a Report from the Reports Explorer

The steps for searching are the same in all explorers. You can search any of the available columns in the list by selecting a column from the Find Using drop-down list.

Three data types are supported in explorer searches: strings (words), dates, and integers (numbers). The data type of the column you select determines the available search criteria.

• String—The Name column is the default search column in all explorers. Because this is a string data type, you can search for strings that start with, contain, end with, or match the value you enter in the search box. You can also match the case by selecting the Case Sensitive check box.
• Date—If the column you select is a date data type, you can search for dates before, on, or after today’s date. You can also click the calendar to display the current month’s calendar and select another day, or click the arrows at the top of the calendar to change months.
• Integer—If the column you select is an integer data type, you can search for values that are less than, equal to, or greater than a number. Either enter a number in the search box or select one using the arrows.
