Manage Search Requests

The Searches interface may contain multiple requests. This section contains information on how to work with searches to address specific tasks.

NOTE: To manage the search requests, users require sufficient access rights that are assigned by the Super User (DSAR Administrator). See DSAR Roles for details on the available roles, their rights and permissions.

Customize View​

You can filter your requests by status. Select one of the following under Display Status:

  • Active – shows all requests with "Processed" status (default view).
  • Completed – shows all completed requests. Review the View Search Query Results section for instructions on how to complete your request.
  • Canceled – shows all canceled requests. See Cancel Search for more information.
  • All – shows all search requests.

In addition to status, a DSAR Manager can filter search requests by owner. Select one of the following under Owner:

  • All – shows search requests submitted by anyone.
  • Me – shows all requests submitted by current user.

In addition to filtering capabilities, you can sort search request by any column, e.g., Percentage Complete, Updated Date, etc.

If a search request is pending, you can cancel it — this will prevent the search terms from being included in the search when it runs.

To cancel a search request, do the following:

  1. In administrative web console, navigate to Data Analysis → DSAR.
  2. Locate the Searches tab.
  3. Select queued search and click Cancel on the right.

You can use previous searches as a template i.e., clone the parameters of a previous search in order to minimize the time required to initiate a similar (or identical) search.

To template search request, do the following:

  1. In administrative web console, navigate to Data Analysis→DSAR.
  2. Locate the Searches tab.
  3. Select search and click Template on the right.

A new search window will appear, pre-populated with exactly the same criteria as above.
