Tip
titleUse Variables in Static Searches

There are three useful variables when creating a static Search:

  • @today – For the current date.
  • @fulluser – For the current user’s Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) or Fully Qualified Server Name (FQSN), as recorded in a system field such as Indexed By, or Last Modified By.
  • @user – For the current user’s username, without any server or domain qualification, as might be shown in an Assembly Bound Field List imported from Active Directory.


Multi Prompt Searches

 A frequently asked question is how can I enter multiple values to search on one field? 

Using multiple prompts with advanced grouping's OR operator can achieve this.  A common use would be for entering in more than one invoice number. You would create this search separately from your main browse search. Limit the number of prompts in the search as this can quickly take up a lot of screen space. Keep in mind that this is a simplistic example only meant for entering one value set. You could try expanding on this more with further use of advanced grouping. This type of search also has limited functionality depending on how you use the advanced grouping. If you do not enter a value into each of your prompts the OR search will return results that you don’t want with blank values in that field. If you have three prompts you will need to enter three values every time you run the search to only return the values you want without blank values.

Notice that the prompts have been changed on the right side of the search in the admin menu adding a 1 and 2. This allows the other two prompts to be searchable.
