You can select the filter icon to limit the list of results, or select the checkbox beside an item to open the Actions toolbar.

Context Sensitive Search

In addition to searching from the Home page, you can search within a specific folder on the Content page by navigating to the appropriate location, and then entering keywords in the search bar.

When you search from a specific folder, your search results appear on two tabs:
  • Search results in: [Current Folder] — results for the current folder.
  • Search results in: All Content — results for all content (including the My Content and Teams Content folders)
search results for 'year-end reports' within the UltiPro BI for Core HR and Payroll folder
Note When you save a search, it saves the search criteria, not the context from which you started the search. You can use a saved search for any context.

Tips for Using Search

  • When you search for a phrase, the default search operator is AND.

    For example, if you search for the keywords year-end report, results that include both "year-end" and "report" are returned.

  • When you enclose your keywords in double quotation marks (" "), the search results include only exact matches for the text within the quotation marks. This type of search is case sensitive.

    For example, if you search for the keywords "Year-End Report", results that include both "year-end" and "report" are returned, but only when "Year-End" and "Report" appear in that order.

  • You can use the following special characters in your search keywords: ~`!@#$%^&*()-+={[}]|:;'<,>.?/
  • The percent character (%) is a wildcard.
  • To save your search parameters for future use, select the Save icon. The saved search will appear as a suggestion when you begin entering a keyword in the search bar. Saved searches include filters that were applied to the search results.
