Hey everybody,

 

I am facing a problem with Excel Add In in IFS Cloud. The search functionality has changed from Apps to Cloud. Eg “%” or “;” doesn´t work anymore (at least it seems). Is there any documentation about search possibilities that can be used?

 

Is there a possibility to use SQL statements in the search bars?

 

Thank you in advance,

 

Johannes

Hi Johannes, we don’t have the possibility to use SQL statements in IFS cloud excel add-in. We can search by the text on each column.

Hello Nirogini,

 

thank you yor your response. Is there a possibility to “connect” search requests?

 

Like PART_NO: part_no_A;part_no_B (2 different part numbers)

Or Like PART_NO: part_%_A (any part no starting with “part”, ending with “A”)

 

Best regards,

Hello Johannes,

I have used Fiddler to inspect the https GET request.

The filter looks like:
&$filter=((startswith(tolower(PartNo),%27PartNoSearchEntry%27)))

in case of more columns:
$filter=(((startswith(tolower(PartNo),%27PartNoSearchEntry%27)))%20and%20(startswith(tolower(SerialNo),%27SerialNoSearchEntry%27))) 

Based on this information, the SearchEntry must start with exactly what you want to search for, ignoring upper and lower case letters.

Hi Johannes, you can search on the PART_NO field with ‘part’ that will result the parts starts with ‘part’ exactly same as LIKE in SQL
