Article summary

Global Search is applicable for person and organization-related searches across all applications along with contacts and agencies regardless of which application is in use.

Users can see Advance Filter options upon expanding Global Search.

The Advance Filter option has the following features. They are:

  1. Include
  2. Resume 
  3. Apply Filter 
  4. Exclude 
  5. Optional 
  6. Select Entity  
  7. Save 
  8. Clear Search 
  9. Additional Parameter

1. Include

The "Include filter field" feature empowers users to sculpt their search results, enabling them to reveal outcomes that encompass the specific value they are seeking, thus providing a tailored and refined search experience.

2. Resume

The "Resume Search" filter is specifically designed for person-related searches, providing users with a unique capability to pinpoint individuals who have uploaded their resumes. By activating the "Resume Search" toggle button, users can effortlessly identify and connect with individuals whose profiles include their resumes. Conversely, when the toggle is deactivated, the search scope expands to encompass all of Zenople's content except for the resumes, offering users a comprehensive and versatile search experience.

3. Apply Filter

The "Apply Filter" function is an integral part of each application's Directory Filter, offering users the chance to layer multiple filters based on their specific requirements.

When the "Active Filter" in the Global Search is activated in conjunction with other filters, it results in a search that incorporates the Directory Filter's criteria as well. This means that the search results will consider both the global and directory-level filters, providing a comprehensive and refined set of results.

For example, consider a scenario where a user wants to find only the active employees within the EIS application. To achieve this, they would select the 'Active' status in the Directory Filter of the EIS application and then enable the 'Apply Filter' toggle button within the Global Search. Subsequently, they would choose 'Employees' as the entity and apply any other necessary filters before initiating the search. This action would yield a list of employees whose status is marked as 'Active' within the EIS application.

It's important to note that if the "Apply Filter" toggle button is switched off, Global Search will not collaborate with the Directory Filter, and the filters set in the directory won't impact the search results. This underscores the flexibility and precision that the "Apply Filter" feature provides in fine-tuning search outcomes to meet specific user needs.

4. Exclude

The "Exclude filter field" feature empowers users to fine-tune their search results by excluding a specific value from the displayed outcomes, ensuring that the information they receive precisely matches their criteria and eliminating any unwanted data from the results.

5. Optional

The "Optional Filter Field" offers users the flexibility to refine their search results by including a specific value entered in this field, should any matching entries exist. This user-friendly feature enhances the search experience, enabling users to retrieve results that align with the provided value, only if such matches are present within the dataset.

6. Select Entity

The "Select Entity" feature provides users with the versatile capability to search for records related to both individuals and organizations, catering to their specific needs and preferences. This dynamic tool empowers users to handpick the exact person or organization they are looking for from a comprehensive dropdown menu of available options. The Entity dropdown encompasses a range of choices, including "Applicant," "New Hire," "Employee," "Lead," "Target," "New Customer," and "Customer," allowing users to tailor their search precisely to their intended audience or subject matter.

Moreover, it's possible to choose various entities simultaneously.

7. Save

In the event that a specific search is conducted repeatedly, users have the option to preserve it for later use by assigning an appropriate title. Additionally, users possess the capability to distribute these saved searches with either a single individual or multiple users, depending on their specific needs and preferences.

8. Clear Search

The "Clear Search" feature empowers users to erase their prior searches, making way for a fresh start with a new filter application. Furthermore, the dropdown menu for "Additional Parameters" dynamically adjusts its options based on the selected Entity, ensuring that only relevant choices are presented for a more tailored and efficient search experience.

9. Additional Parameter

The "Additional Parameters" feature empowers users to refine their search queries with precision. This versatile set of parameters includes options such as Address Search, Assessment, Availability, Background Check, Comments, Document Type, Education, EEO, E-verify, Interview, Person Additional Info, Person Employment, Radius Search, Relates To, Sales Profile, Skill, Stage, Task, and Work History. Users have the flexibility to add multiple parameters on the fly using the "Add More Parameter" action, enabling them to fine-tune their filters for precise results.
