Introduction
Records365’s robust search engine allows you to explore all of your Records, no matter which content source they reside in.
Use quick, simple queries from the Search Bar at the top of each screen, or perform an Advanced Search to construct complex queries and use a wide range of search operators.
To save time you can also choose to save and re-use your most frequent search queries with the help of Saved Searches. Your saved searches can then be used not only from the Advanced Search page but also from the Disposal views.

Advanced Search

- The Advanced search can include multiple conditions. To add more conditions click on Add Condition to refine your search. Click on Search after the necessary conditions have been updated.
