Search for jobs

You can search for and locate jobs on a connected Fiery server using such parameters as file name, user or date.

The Search function allows you to quickly locate jobs on the currently selected Fiery server. It is part of the Job Center toolbar and applies to the jobs in the current view. You can search for jobs in the All Jobs, Held, Processing, Printing, Printed, or Finished queues.

You can search for jobs by doing one of the following:

  • Simple job search—To search all the columns in the current view, even those that are not visible on the screen (because of the scroll bar), use the Search field. For example, if you type "Photo", you can find jobs that have "Photo" in their name, and also jobs that are printed on photo media.

  • Advanced job search—To search by multiple criteria (columns) simultaneously, click the arrow next to the filters above the column headers, and specify the search criteria.

Simple job search

You can use the Search field in any view to find jobs. When you switch from one view to another, the previous search criteria are cleared.

  1. Type your search criteria in the Search field located under the Job Center toolbar icons.
  2. Press Enter, or click the magnifying glass icon (Search icon) to locate the jobs that meet the specified search criteria.

    The search word is not case-sensitive.

    The search for the specified value is conducted across all the columns in the current view, even if the columns are not visible on screen (because of the scroll bar).

After you have executed a search, you can clear the current search criteria by clicking Clear, or by switching to another view. This allows you to search by different criteria.

Search across all Fiery servers

You can locate jobs by searching across all connected Fiery servers in Command WorkStation.

To search across all Fiery servers, Command WorkStation must be connected to more than one Fiery server.

Search all Fiery servers selected from a simple search location in Command WorkStation Job Center.

When you use the Search all Fiery servers feature, you can also see all jobs submitted by a particular user to all servers.

  1. Type your search criteria in the Search field located under the Job Center toolbar icons.
  2. Click the Search all Fiery servers link under the Search field.

    When jobs are selected through the simple search function, they are found by these criteria: job title, job status, date and time, user name, job size, and server name.

  3. In the Search all Fiery servers window, you can further refine the search by typing more detailed search information into the Search field.
  4. Double-click a job from the search results or select a job and click Locate job.

    The Search all Fiery servers window closes, and the selected job is automatically highlighted on the relevant Fiery server.

    Alternatively, if you select a job in the list and click Show search on Fiery server, you are taken to that search result on the Fiery server. All jobs that match the simple search criteria are shown in the All Jobs view.

After you have executed a search, you can clear the current search criteria by clicking the Clear link. This allows you to search by different criteria across all connected Fiery servers.

Advanced job search

You can use the Advanced Search function to search by multiple criteria (columns) simultaneously in the current view.
