Search for Transactions

The search feature in AuditSafe is powerful and easy to use.

You can search for values within multiple categories. The search finds matching records even if a category (or column) is not displayed. You can hide or show categories by selecting them from the Settings dialog box.

Use the following options to initiate a search action:

  • Use the Keyword option to search for a term in all of the categories.
  • Searching for values or keywords within the same category is an OR search.

    For example: Search Status for In Progress or Completed to find all transactions that contain those values.

  • Searching for values between 2 or more categories is an AND search. You can combine the two search-types to narrow your results.

    For example: Search Status for PROCESSINGORCOMPLETED, AND search Audit Event for Request Received.

The system automatically segments your query into OR and AND searches as seen in the following example:
