Searching for policy definitions

Searches may be performed on all Compliance Entities created. The Policy Definitions search is invoked by clicking on the search icon. The Search By Entity screen appears on the left hand side of the user interface.

Before you begin

A search on Process and Policy entity is available. Please note that the field listing you may search on differs with each Entity selection.

About this task

The following procedure outlines how to search for definitions.

1. To search for a particular value, you must first choose the field you wish to conduct a search on.
2. Enter the value you wish to search for, e.g to retrieve all Cisco devices, you would enter "Cisco" in the Vendor field. Alternatively, select the asterisk (*) to return all database entries for that particular field.
3. Then select "Search" icon at the bottom of the screen.
4. The drop-down list does not populate values already in the field. However, once a value has been searched for, that value will auto-populate into the appropriate field so that it can be searched for again.
5. Combinations of search criteria may also be used. This type of search is particularly useful where there are a large number of network resources, as it helps to refine the criteria being searched for.
