Quick Search

The Search bar contains a field to enter your search text and a ‘type’ drop down box.

  • Search field - enter your search text here

    • Assets (Equipment)

    • Product

    • Site

    • User

Clicking the search button (magnifying glass icon) or hitting return (enter) on your keyboard will execute the Quick Search and present the Search results in a new tabbed panel.
