Search Results

The records that match your search term(s) are listed under Results. From the Results list you can:

The number of records retrieved by your search is displayed on the Results tab e.g., 'Results (174)'. If there are more results than will fit on one page, you can move through the results with the navigation controls in the lower right corner. Click Previous or Next to move one page back or forward, or click a number to move directly to that page of results.      

Records in Results can be selected for future use, e.g., for editing, exporting, or printing of labels. You can select and unselect records by using the buttons at the bottom of the Results page (Select, Select all, Unselect, Unselect all). For example, to select one of your results, click a record so it is highlighted in blue and click Select at the bottom the page. The record is placed in the selection set, and now appears on the Results page in bold. The total number of records currently selected is always shown on the Selection tab, e.g., 'Selection (2)'.

Selecting records in Results

You can select and unselect records in Results by highlighting the records and/or by using the buttons at the bottom of the Results page (Select, Unselect, Select All, Unselect All). The method you use will depend on whether you want to select all the records in Results or only some of them.

From the Results page, you can change the selection status only of records in your current set of results. You can read more about ways of using Selection in Combining results from multiple searches.

Note that the Selection set can contain only one type of resource (People, Entities, or Documents). Thus, if you have, e.g., selected a group of people and then select an entity, the people you had selected will be removed from Selection.
