Searching and Filtering the Data

When you need to quickly find a particular piece of information, Lumeer offers you advanced search and filter capabilities.

At the top of the screen, there is always a search bar (see the input box with Type anything you search for…). This is like Google for your data. When it’s empty, Lumeer displays all your data.

If you enter the term term you want to search for without specifying attribute (column) name, Lumeer searches in all columns in all records.

On the homepage (Search perspective), Lumeer will search for tasks, tables, and views.

If you want to search for other types of records than tasks, you might use the Detail perspective. This perspective will also search and filter tasks. It is up to you to decide which way suites you better.

search for all types of records

If you enter multiple terms, they are considered as if there was an And operator between them – all records in the result must contain all fulltext terms.

Search and Filter by Attributes

You can further narrow down the search by specifying table or view name and additional filters.

Lumeer always helps you with forming your search and you can immediately see the search results.

If you enter multiple terms, they are considered as if there was an And operator between them – the records in the result fulfill all the conditions.

Possible operators in a search term depend on the type of the attribute
