About Semantic Search

Semantic Search enables you to search for objects by defining search criteria for chosen object attributes.

• The Advanced Search enables you to search for objects based on the definition of multiple criteria based on two different levels of search criteria definition.
• When search results are displayed in a Search Results window, they are grouped by 50 results per page. If there are more than 50 results, a navigation bar appears at the bottom of the dialog box that enables you to search the entire set of search results.
