Performing a Keyword Search
- Choose the Search Type. Using the dropdown menu, you can choose to search for Events, Locations, Organizations, Resources, Tasks, or Contacts.
- Enter keywords. If you're not searching for tasks, enter one or more keywords. You must type a search term at least two characters long and/or use the More Options menu to select at least one criteria option. When searching for contacts, you can look for the contact's name or email address.
Keyword searches look through:
- Events - event name, event title, event reference number
- Locations - location name or short name
- Resources - resource name
- Organizations - organization name
- Contacts - contact name, username, email addresses, security group, title, phone
- Tasks – Toggle Advanced feature and use filters to perform search
- Run the search. Use the Search button or your Enter or Return key to view your search results.
Filtering by Event Criteria
When searching for events, locations, organizations, and resources, you can add more filters and options to narrow your search.
To begin, just as you did for keyword searches, navigate to the Search section by using the Go to Search link below the navigation bar on every page of 25Live. There is also a Search link in the More menu in the top navigation.
- Use the Filter Link Menus. After typing keyword(s) into the search field, use the various filter link menus (signified by a filter type and a plus (+) symbol) to reveal available filter areas.
- Select Filter Criteria. Using the link menu for each filter type, select criteria from the display. Select as many filters as you need (or use the Select All link). Use the Select None link if you want to clear your choices.
- Add additional filters. Close the filter display, and repeat to add more filters from other areas.
- Run the search. Use the Search button or your Enter or Return key to view your search results.
Filtering by Occurrence Date
