EN:CLI-Search

The CLI search (Command Line Interface) enables you to formulate entire search queries as text.
The CLI search is not visible by default and has to be activated by IP7 on request.

Regular searches can be converted to CLI searches and vice versa.


The CLI search can be used as an individual tab or can be combined with other search blocks as a search block.

Syntax

The first line should be used to determine the basis for the search.
e.g. [A] – for application
If the basis is not set, the standard setting of the currently open project/task is used automatically.

Example for a CLI search:

The syntax for a the search blocks is generally set up in the following way:
SEARCH_KEYWORD [ OPTIONS ] : QUERY

Search criteria without options exist.
In some cases, it is obligatory to enter options but generally, they are optional.
The individual search criteria are explained as follows:

As a help, search blocks can be converted to CLI searches.
This way, the syntax for a search block becomes clear easily.
