Search for Assets by Attribute

You can search for assets by their attribute information. These assets can be used to create work activities or used in searches.

  1. Click Layer Search in the map toolbar.
  2. Select Select Features From from the I want to drop-down list.
  3. Select a layer from the Options drop-down list.
  4. Select a field to query in the Field drop-down list.
  5. Enter a search term or select options from the Find field. If the selected Field has been configured with search options, the Find field changes to a drop-down list.

TIP: You can enter null or not null in the search field to search for records with those field values.

  1. Select In List (comma delimited) to perform an exact or equal search. You can enter multiple values in the Find field separated by commas.
  2. Select Like Search (rather than exactly equals) if a like or similar search is desired.
  3. If you want to limit the search to a specific area, use one of the following options:
  • To limit the search by the current map extent, select Current View Extent.
  • If you have assets selected on the map and want to limit the search by the extent of those assets, select Extent of Selected Features.
  • To limit the extent by a specific area, click Draw Extent. Click once on the map, then click again in another location to begin drawing a polygon on the map. Double-click to end the polygon.
  1. Click Search to search for assets matching the query.

Any assets matching the attribute information is included in the selection. From here, you can create work activities or use in searches.

  1. Click Clear Extent to clear the selected extent and start again.
