Working with the Main Search Page
Learn how to use the main search page to filter results, explore data on a map, export records, and share queries.
Exploring the Search Landing Page
- The Left portion of the screen contains everything that you would need to build your search queries, which includes both the Advanced Search and Quick Filters
- The Center portion of the screen shows the Search Results where you can toggle between table view or list view
- The Top portion of the screen allows your to verify your search criteria and take actions on your search results such as export or save your searches
- Advanced Search - This is the Query Builder, which allows you to build more complex and advanced queries.
- Quick Filters - This allows you to quickly filter on attributes. The Entity Types distribution list provides you a way to find the distribution of your entity types across your tenant. By default, a maximum of seven entity types are displayed. Select View more to see all the other entity types. The order of the entity types is governed by the UI configuration. Note: The total count of profiles includes all the available entity types.
If you have defined groups for entity types, the entity types are listed based on the groups. An entity type can belong to more than one group. Here's a sample:
In the above image, the Clinical Study entity type listed under 2 groups. For more information about grouping for entity types, see topic Entity type grouping.
Note: If no entity types have grouping defined, they appear in the Hub UI without a group label. If some types are grouped, all non grouped types are automatically placed under the Other group. -
Below the Entity Types, you will find the Attributes listed. These Attributes are listed in a format that is easy to understand because of the visuals that allow you to explore around the datasets.
Note: Based on the entity type, if you would like to view some attributes as facets in the Quick Filters panel by default, you can add thedefaultFacetedAttributesproperty as metadata in your L3 configuration. For more information, see Using Quick Filters and Reltio entity types. For details on updating your L3 configuration, see Configuration API. - Recommended Attributes: At the bottom of the attributes list, you will find a list of recommended attributes which are suggested attributes based on your search behaviors and patterns.
Once you have defined the final search criteria via Quick Filters or Advanced Search, the center portion displays the Search Results. You can view the Search Results either in the form of a Table view or a List view.

If you need additional configuration options, you can select GO TO EXPORT APPLICATION, or proceed immediately by selecting EXPORT or cancel the action with CANCEL.
