Sample Searches Using Advanced
Find in Citrix-Based ADAMS
The ADAMS library may be searched using a Simple Find or an Advanced
Find.
The Simple Find feature -- Pick Lists -- lets you see a
list of values used in some of the profile fields. Search criteria can
be entered into multiple areas of the Simple Find window. A logical AND
automatically combines the search criteria to narrow the results to documents that match all the search criteria. The Packages
tab lets you limit the search to package titles only.
Some of the features of Advanced Find allow you to use wildcards
in document property searches, use Boolean operators, and retrieve both
documents and packages when doing Title searches.
