You can refine your search results using your original search on the
metadata server. After you enter your original search using the menu bar on the classic
home page, the search results are displayed in the
workspace. Note that when you refine your search results, the initial 5000 item
subset is not affected.
The refine search feature
is dependent on your locale. The search is not case sensitive.
You can refine the search results displayed in the workspace using the
Search within results field in the left pane. When you enter a
term or terms, you can use
quotation marks and spaces when you are searching within your results. Only the items that match
your refined search appear in your workspace. Each
search term that you enter must appear at least once in the object name, the description, the
author’s name, or keywords in the
metadata.
You can also refine
your search results by selecting (or clearing) check boxes in the
left pane. Note that the totals in the parentheses in any pane are
dependent on what has been selected in the other two panes.
The following panes
are available:
-
The
Type pane
shows the available object types. In SAS Visual Analytics, you can
search for
Stored process report,
SAS
report (2G),
Table,
Stored
process,
Visual data query,
or
Visual exploration. Depending on the SAS products that you have
licensed at your site, other SAS object types might appear in the
Type pane. The default
is
All object types.
The available types
are determined by the capabilities that your system administrator
has assigned. For example, you might see only the All, SAS
report (2G), Table, and Stored
process check boxes in the Type pane.
If you select all of
the check boxes for the individual types, then the check boxes clear,
and the
All check box is selected automatically. If you clear the check boxes for all of the types, then
the
All check
box is selected automatically.
Note: If your role permits you
to see only one type, then you will not see the Type pane.
-
The number in parentheses
beside the user's name identifies the number of objects that the user
has created or modified, taking into account the filters that have
been selected in the other panes.
If you select all of
the check boxes for the users in the list, then the check boxes clear,
and the All check box is selected automatically. If you clear the check boxes for all of the
users, then
the All check
box is selected automatically.
-
The
Date Modified pane lists the dates that the objects were last modified. You can refine the search
to a specific
date range by specifying a
From date,
a
To date, or both. If the initial results
set represents only a single day, then the
From and
To fields
are hidden to conserve visual space.
The dates are
time zone dependent. If your company has offices in multiple time zones, then the date modified
time stamp on the object reflects the time at which it was saved using the current user’s time
zone. For example, if a report was modified by a user on January 3 at 2:00 a.m. in
New York, another user in California sees that it was modified on January 2 at 11:00
p.m.
At the top of the workspace, you can see the breadcrumbs for the selections that you
have made to refine your
search. Breadcrumbs change as you modify the selections in the Type, Created or Last Modified By, and Date Modified panes.
The breadcrumbs also show any search strings that you entered in the Search within results field.
