Searching Tasks

You can search for tasks for all Discovery Center jobs run against the current repository or against all repositories on the current repository server. Use the Show All option to return a view of all available tasks. Use the Filtered Search option to narrow your search using one or more conditions. For each condition, optionally add one or more sub-groups. Adding a sub-group refines the search by categorizing the results.

Note:

When creating a filtered search, click Hide to remove the filter panel and see only the summary of your filter criteria. Click Show to display the filter panel.
