In the “Reporting → Search” menu, you can define specific queries to quickly find, analyze and reuse relevant data from the system. The queries can be saved, copied and used in several places in the system.

Structure of the search function

The “Search” page is divided into two tabs:

• Parameters: This is where you define your search query using rules, groups and filters. All tables are available.

• Results: Displays the hit list of your search query in table form.

Define queries – this is how it works

• Add rule: Add a condition, e.g. “Age > 50”.

• Add group: Combine several rules logically (AND/OR). Groups are used to bracket complex filters.

• Existence filter: Uses subqueries, e.g. to find “cases with at least one specific sample”. This is an advanced function.

• Reverse: Reverses logical conditions, such as “equal” → “unequal” or “AND” → “OR”.

Customize search result

• Click on “Show” to select which fields should be displayed in the results list.

• Use drag & drop to change the order of the fields or rules.

• Activate “Show descriptions of list values instead of their codes” if you want to see plain text instead of codes.
