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. 

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.

To delete a search, click  . Searches are removed permanently, i.e. without being placed to the recycle bin.

How to Use the Advanced Search for Complex Queries

Advanced search uses autocompletion that also works when a criterion / operator / value is entered only partially. It will then only show items matching the already entered fragment.

To use the advanced search:

1. Click (=) and set the cursor in the Query field.
   
   
2. Select the required criterion from the list.
   
   
   
3. Select the required operator. 
   
   
   
4. Select the value.
   
   

5. To define further criteria / values, select logical AND or OR.
   
   
   

   

   If you want to change the already entered part of the query, note that autocompletion does not yet support this. For example, you cannot set a cursor in the middle of your query and change the already entered operator or logical AND / OR. It is necessary to remove a part of the query to change the already entered expression.

6. After the query is complete, click Search.
