### Use Advanced Query

To use Advanced Query

1. Click Advanced Query.
   In a separate window, the Advanced Query page opens with the object attributes on the right-hand side. On the left-hand side of the page is a navigation tree which provides you with more advanced options, such as query on linked object attributes. For example, you might query for documents that have linked items of item type Manufactured.
2. To define your query as case sensitive, select the Case Sensitive check box.
3. Do one of the following:

- Specify criteria for any of the attributes currently displayed.
- Click All Attributes. All the object's attributes will be displayed.
- Click the appropriate object under Linked Objects.
  The attributes that appear on the right will be adjusted accordingly.

4. Use the lists to specify conditions. The choice of conditions depends on the type of attribute selected. If you query by linked objects, you can select Exists or Does Not Exist. If you query by document attributes, you can use the File Content attribute to perform a text search.

NOTE

An asterisk (*) indicates that atributes or objects have been selected. To undo a selection, click the object*, and click Clear.
5. After you enter your selection criteria, click Query Now.
   The contents of the window are replaced with the results of the query.
6. Select the required objects, and use the options on the Actions menu
   (or the corresponding buttons on the toolbar), to do one of the following:

- Apply to List - Add your selections to the objects already displayed
- Replace List - Replace the objects currently displayed with your selections
- Return to Query - Define a new query
- Clear Marks - Clear all selected check boxes

The list of objects is updated with your choices. If the results of your selection do not fit on one page, the results appear on multiple pages. To navigate to any of the results, use the controls on top of the page.
