Search for Devices in the IGEL UMS Web App

In the Search area of the IGEL Universal Management Suite (UMS) Web App, you can search for devices according to the configured criteria and save your search for later.

You can also create Advanced Searches, that you can use in Jobs and Administrative Tasks in the UMS Console, see Using Advance Searches in Jobs and Administrative Tasks in the UMS Console.

The Search feature of the UMS Web App is a successor to views in the UMS Console. It does not currently include all the criteria that are available for views but the range of the criteria will constantly be expanded.


Menu path: UMS Web App > Search

Selecting All devices shows a result list of all the devices registered in the UMS with no values specified for the filters.

Under My Saved Searches, you can find the searches that you created and saved. If you see the image-20240808-084425.png icon next to search, the search is shared with other users of the UMS.

Searches are removed permanently, i.e. without being placed into the recycle bin.

Under Public Searches, you can find searches shared by other users of your UMS. For details, see How to Share Searches in the IGEL UMS Web App .

You cannot rename or edit searches under Public Searches. Those searches can only be edited by the users who created and shared them.

The Advanced search toggle button activates the Query field that you can use for complex searches.

The main features of the query:

  • SQL-like query language

  • Autocompletion

  • Can be copied and pasted

For details, see How to Use Advanced Search in the IGEL UMS Web App

Case sensitive search

When the Case Sensitive checkbox is enabled, all the input in all the text fields is taken case sensitive. 

When disabled, the search disregards the cases used in the input.

To set case sensitive search for selected fields only, you add the cs. prefix to the values in the WQL query. For example:
