Using Custom Filters for the Database Search

User filters allow the current user to view specified data according to the conditions they have selected. Filters should always relate to objects in the context of object definitions. The main components of a user filter are:

  • A search in the objects' display values
  • A customized search condition (where clause)
  • A full text search

You have the option to set up ad hoc filters and permanent filters. Ad hoc filters are used for a one-off reduction of list entries. These filters are not saved and are applied to the data immediately.

A permanent filter is recommended if you want to reuse it more frequently. Permanent filters are saved in the user configuration and therefore are always available for use.

    You can use * (asterisk) as a wildcard. The filter is not case-sensitive.

  4. Enable the option Full text search to conduct a full text search.

    To use full text search in the Manager, you must run the Manager over an application server with an installed search service. For detailed information about installing an application server for full text search, see the One Identity Manager Installation Guide.

  5. Start the search with Search.
