3.4.2 Displaying search results

The results of a search using the simple search area of the main window (Item list), Specify search conditions - Item-common element window, or Specify item search conditions window are displayed in the List of item search results window.

The following figure shows the List of item search results window.

Figure 3‒21: "List of item search results" window

By default, the List of item search results window is sorted by registration date and time in descending order. Note that the number of search results displayed per page depends on the search method. The following describes the number of search results to be displayed according to the search method:

The search using the simple search area

The List of item search results window displays 100 search results per page.

The search using the Specify search conditions - Item-common element window or Specify item search conditions window

The List of item search results window displays a specified number of search results per page. The number of search results to be displayed is specified in the Specify search conditions - Item-common element window or for Number of search results displayed per page in the Specify item search conditions window.

If the Items that matched the search condition exceed the specified number of search results to be displayed per page, the page-turn function can be used to display the excess search results. If, however, a page is turned when Items have been added, deleted, or edited after a search, the Items that were found by the search might not be displayed or the Items that were not found might be displayed. Also, even if the page is turned, the page number might remain to be 0-0/0 and no Items might be displayed. If this occurs, perform the search again. If you want to display search results without duplication and omission, for example, to output them in a CSV file, we recommend you to perform searches in a time zone in which users update Items few times.

The following describes the operations that can be performed in the List of item search results window.

Re-searching for Items:

When you click the Search again button, the Specify search conditions - Item-common element window or Specify item search conditions window with the search conditions you entered for the search re-appears.

If the previous search was a simple search, the search condition that was used is displayed in Search with this keyword in that window. By adding search conditions, you can further narrow down the search results. You can also specify the number of search results to be displayed per page in the List of item search results window.

Exporting a list of Items to a CSV file:

You can export a list of Items in the search results to a CSV file by clicking the CSV button. You can select the Items that you want to export. For details about exporting Items to a CSV file, see 3.13 Exporting Item information to a CSV file.

Performing batch operations on Items

By clicking the Batch Operation button, you can perform batch operations on Items whose check boxes are selected in the List of item search results window. Note that this button only appears in systems where batch operations on Items are enabled. For details on batch operations on Items, see 3.7 Batch operations on Items.

Displaying the information linked to a clickable item:

Clickable items are displayed in the Title and Person in charge fields. You can click such an item to display its detailed or related information.

(Page turn)

The page-turn function switches the page displayed in the window. If the Items that matched the search condition exceed the specified number of search results to be displayed per page, you can use this function to view the excess search results. If, for example, the number of search results to be displayed per page is 1,000 and a total of 2,500 search results are obtained, the search results are indicated in the format of 1-1000/2500 on the first page.
