4.1 Basic Search

This search is based on a limited set of search criteria and helps retrieve the required reports for your analysis. This search type is very useful if you know the report details such as report name and report ID. Only those reports that match the criteria you specify are displayed.

To search for reports using basic search criteria, follow these steps:

  1. Go to the Report Summary page. By default, the Basic Search option is displayed.
  2. Enter the following information in the Basic Search pane as tabulated.

    Table 4-1 Basic Search Fields

    Fields Description
    Report ID Enter report ID you want to view. For multiple report numbers, separate the report numbers with a comma (for example, 660, 671). Ensure that you do not enter a space after the comma. Report numbers are not case-sensitive. This overrides other filter criteria.
    Report Name For example, if you enter Report Number in search criteria, then this option overrides other details that you have entered previously in other search criteria such as Report Status, Types of Report, Approved By, and so on.

    NOTE: You can enter a maximum of 50 numeric values in this field
  3. Click Search. Report or reports matching your search criteria are displayed.
