Dashboards feature two different types of search:

 

1. Search across all dashboard items. You can set this option up on the Dashboard search page by choosing the searchable fields. This type of search is available as a separate page in the generated application and also as the Search all fields search box on the dashboard page.

 

2. Add the search page for any dashboard table as a dashboard item. When you add a new dashboard item, select any table, view, chart, or report, and choose Search as an option. This option works only if you also add this table/view/chart/report to the dashboard.

Search across all dashboard items

On the Dashboard search screen, select the fields you want to be searchable.

dashboard_search

 

Drag fields from different tables/elements into a single cell to enable searching through all the elements that belong to the cell at the same time. For example, you can simultaneously search the Orders table and Orders Chart.

 

The Search option allows adding fields to the Advanced search page.

dashboard_adv_search

 

The Include into all fields search option allows adding fields to the All fields quick search.

dashboard_quick_search

 

If you want some dashboard elements not to display the data initially, apply the Hide data until search option to the elements in the Search and Filter settings on the Choose fields screen.

Add a dashboard search page to the dashboard

You can add a dashboard advanced search page to the dashboard as one of the elements. On the Dashboard layout screen, click add and select the dashboard itself.

dashboard_add_search

 

An example of a dashboard with the search element:

Make sure you've also added the selected table/view/chart/report to the dashboard as a data grid, single record, chart or report.
