CluedIn allows you to search over all your golden records. You can enter a keyword in the search box, and CluedIn will return all relevant records. You can also use filters to precisely define the data you’re looking for based on various criteria.

In this article, you will learn how to use the search capabilities and customize the search results page to better suit your specific needs.

Search results page

By default, the search results page displays records in the tabular view in the following columns: Name, Entity Type, and Description. You can customize the search results page to focus on the information that is important to you.

    • Entity Property – this option allows you to select the following record properties: Date Created, Discovery Date, or Date Modified. After you choose the needed properties, select Save Selection.

Reorder columns

If you want to improve the organization of information on the search results page, you can change the order of columns.

To reorder columns on the search results page

  1. On the search results page, select Column Options.

  2. Select the row and drag it to a new position in the list.

    You changes are immediately applied to the search results page. After you reorder the columns, close the Column Options pane.

Sort records

By default, the records on the search results page are sorted by relevance. This means that CluedIn prioritizes records that are most likely to match your search query closely. Sorting by relevance ensures that the most pertinent results are displayed at the top of the page, facilitating efficient data retrieval.

In addition to sorting by relevance, CluedIn provides two alternative sorting options:

  • Sorting by new – choosing this option arranges records in descending order of their creation or modification date, with the most recently added or updated records appearing at the top.

  • Sorting by old – choosing this option arranges records in ascending order of their creation or modification date, with the oldest records appearing at the top.

To sort records

  1. On the search results page, select Filter.

  2. In the upper-right corner of the Filters pane, expand the sorting dropdown menu, and then select the needed sorting option.

    The new sorting is applied to the records. You can hide the Filters pane by selecting hide-icon.png.

Change page view

CluedIn provides two page view options:

  • tabular-view-icon.png – tabular view that presents records in a structured table format. In this view, records are arranged in rows and columns, resembling a spreadsheet or database table.

  • tile-view-icon.png – tile view that presents records in a visual grid-like format. In this view, records are arranged in rectangular tiles, each representing a specific record.

To change the page view

  • In the upper-right corner of the search results page, select the needed page view option.

To save a search

  1. In the upper-right corner of the search results page, select the Save current search icon.

  2. Enter the name of the search.

  3. If you want to make this search available to everybody in your organization, turn on the toggle next to Shared.
