Find Dialog Box

This dialog box enables you to search User, Group, and Contact objects in the connected identity store.

The object types available for search may vary, depending on the page you launch the Find dialog box from.

Step 1 – From the Look For list, select one or more object types that you want to search for.

  • Users – to search for users only.
  • Groups – to search for groups only.
  • Contacts – to search for contacts only.

Step 2 – The Search In list shows all organizational units or containers in the connected identity store. Select the check boxes for the required containers to search in. To search all containers, select the Entire Directory check box.

Step 3 – In the Search box, type a search parameter. Below are some tips to get the best out of your searching:

  • You can type the complete string as a search parameter.

    For example, you can type Administrator in this box to find all objects with the display name 'Administrator'.

  • You can type a part of the string as a search parameter.

    For example, you can type Ad in this box to find all objects with the display name beginning with 'Ad'.

  • You can use wildcard search if you do not remember the exact search criteria.

    For example, you can type * in this box to find all objects with any display name or you can type *d in this box to find all objects containing 'd' anywhere in their display name.

Step 4 – Click the Advanced Search link to display additional search fields (such as description, first name, last name, and company) to search for objects using attributes other than the object's display name.

NOTE: The fields available for Advanced Search may vary, depending on the portal's configuration.

Step 5 – Click the Search button to display the search results.

Step 6 – The Search Results section displays a list of objects matching the search criteria.

From the search results, select the required objects and click the right-arrow to move them to the Selected Results list.

Step 7 – The Selected Results section displays the objects that you have selected from the Search Results list.

Click the left-arrow to move the selected objects from the Selected Results list to the Search Results list.
