Searching by Attribute Values
You can refine your search by specifying asset attributes to search for.
If you specify a single asset type for the search, the set of attributes that you can use for the search is the set of attributes for that asset type. If you have specified several asset types for the search, the set of attributes available for the search is restricted to the general, non-type-specific attributes.
To search for an asset by attribute values
1. In CentraSite Control, go to Asset Catalog > Search.
2. On the Search page, select the Advanced tab.
3. In the Types section, select the asset type or types to be searched for, as described above.
4. In the Criteria section, there is a drop-down list that allows you to specify the asset attribute to search for.
Select the required asset attribute from the list.
5. Depending on the asset type you select, new drop-down lists or text fields appear that allow you to refine the search.
Some criteria such as Organization and Classification offer a Browse button, which you can select to a list of the known objects of this type.
Other asset types allow you to use search predicates such as equals and not equals to find assets. If your chosen asset type allows the use of search predicates, specify the required search string in the text box beside the search predicate. Any text you type in is case insensitive
6. Use the plus button to add an entry to the list. Use the minus button beside an entry to remove it from the list.
7. Click Search.
Now, CentraSite Control lists the assets that match the search criteria. By default the result set is ordered by relevance.
