3.4.1 Specifying the search range and search conditions
The main window (Item list) provides the simple search area. In this area, you can search for Items simply by entering a character string as a search condition, and clicking a button. If you are using the Item Management window function, the search applies to Items that were registered within the time frame set for the Item Management window function. For details on the Item Management window, see 3.2.3 Item Management window function. For details about how to perform a simple search for Items, see the Job Management Partner 1/Integrated Management - Service Support Operator's Guide.
In the Specify item search conditions window, you can specify the search range and search conditions as detailed in the following tables.
Range |
Description |
---|---|
Target system |
Select the system that you want to search from a combo box. |
Target process |
Select the process that you want to search from a combo box. |
Condition |
Description |
---|---|
keywords |
Enter keywords that you want to use as search conditions in text boxes. You can select the target settings with drop-down lists. The entered keywords are used as partial-match search conditions. You can also include the following special characters in search conditions:
|
Attributes |
You can select the severity, Impact level, and other attributes as search conditions from combo boxes. If you click the Selected button for an attribute, the Code selection window opens. In this window, you can select one or more attribute values (codes) that you want to use as search conditions. If you select the NOT search check box, the system searches for Items that do not satisfy those conditions. If you select multiple codes for an attribute, they are combined by the OR operator. For example, after selecting Match all conditions (AND), if you select codes a1, a2, and a3 for attribute A and select codes b1, b2, and b3 for attribute B, the search will use the following conditional expression: (a1 OR a2 OR a3) AND (b1 OR b2 OR b3) |
Date-and-time values |
You can specify time values such as Occurrence date and time and Registration date and time# as search conditions for attributes. |
Numeric values |
You can specify numeric values such as Cost (planned) and Cost (actual) as search conditions for attributes. |
User or role |
You can specify users or roles as search conditions for Registrant and Person in charge. |
The above search conditions can be combined to filter the search results.
You can select either the Match all conditions (AND) or Match any condition (OR) option for the conditions under Search with this keyword and/or the conditions under Search with this attribute. If you use both types of search conditions (keywords and attributes), you cannot specify whether to combine the two types of conditions with the AND operator or the OR operator. The logical operator that will be used between keywords and attributes depends on which of the Match all conditions and Match any condition options is selected for each of the keywords and attributes. The following table shows how the logical operator that will be used between keywords and attributes is determined.
Option selected for keywords |
Option selected for attributes |
Logical operator |
---|---|---|

The Specify item search conditions window is opened from the main window (Item list). The search conditions that can be specified and the Items that can be searched for differ depending on the node selected in the process work board list in the main window (Item list). The following table shows this difference.

The following figure shows two examples of the Specify item search conditions window. The one is an example when a target system node was selected before the window was opened, and the other is an example when the Process work board node was selected before the window was opened.
If you are using the Item Management window function, the range of the Item Management window appears at the top of the window. The following figure shows the Specify item search conditions window with the Item Management window function enabled:
