Viewing Similar Entries in a Directory (Querying)
The Query feature enables you to view entries that match the criteria you specify. These entries are a subset
of the contents of the directory.
MasterDirectory supports two types of queries:
•
Simple query
In a simple query, you enter the criteria in which you are interested, and MasterDirectory displays the
directory entries that match the criteria you specified.
•
Advanced query
In an advanced query, you create and save queries that may contain multiple operations and use
boolean operators (AND/OR). You can then run these queries immediately or run them at a later time
either manually or via the Scheduler.
Performing a Simple Query
To view entries that match the criteria you specify:
1. On the toolbar, click the
Query
button.
The Query Directory dialog box appears.
2. Enter the information you want to find.
3.
From the Include box, select the records you want to query. You can query the following records:
active records only, deleted records only, or both active and deleted records.
4.
From the Order By box, select the field you want to sort by.
5. When you are finished, choose the
OK
button.
The entries that match the criteria you entered are displayed. These entries are a subset of the contents
of the directory. The title bar for the MasterDirectory window displays "[QUERY]," indicating that you
are viewing a query directory. To toggle between the Query directory and all of the records in
MasterDirectory, choose the
Toggle Query
button on the toolbar or choose the
Display Query Results
command from the Query menu.
