Search Masks

Search Masks can be used to provide quick text search filters for MI Viewer home pages, limited to a specific set of text Attributes and/or record properties, in a specific Table.

In searches based on Search Masks:

• Data in Short Text, Long Text, and Discrete Attributes may searched. Link notes are also searched.
• Data in the record Name, Short name, and breadcrumbs may searched.
• By default, record names are not searched. However, this can be configured by modifying the Search setting IncludeRecordNamesWhenUsingSearchMask in the MIServer.exe.config application configuration file.

For information on how to configure application, Profile, and database home pages to use Search Masks, as shown in the example above, see Granta MI Administration and Configuration.
