Search for jobs

Search for and locate jobs on a connected Fiery server using search parameters, such as job title, 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 tool bar and applies to the jobs in the current view. Search for jobs in the Held, Printed, Archived, Processing, or Printing queues.

You can search for jobs doing one of the following:
  • Simple job search - To do a basic search of the content for all the columns in the current view, even if the columns are not visible on screen (because of the scroll bar), use the Search field. For example, if you type “Letter,” you can find jobs that have the word “Letter” in the job title, and also jobs that have “Letter” as part of the media name in the Output paper size column.

  • Advanced job search - To search by multiple criteria (columns) simultaneously, click the arrow next to the magnifying glass icon and select Advanced Search. The Advanced Search window displays the current set of columns and allows searching only across these columns.

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 above 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 typed text 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).

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

Advanced job search

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

  1. To search for jobs, do one of the following: Click the arrow next to the magnifying glass icon and select Advanced Search.

    To save a view that displays all the jobs in all queues on the selected Fiery server, do not select any search criteria, only click OK.

  3. Click Save Search to save the search results as a filter or view.

    • Filter (Current view) to save the search criteria as a filter for the current view (see Filter a job list).

    • View (All jobs) to save the search criteria as a view and give it a descriptive name.
      Note: The view will be listed under the default queues for the selected Fiery server in the Servers list.

      If you saved a view for all jobs on the selected Fiery server, type a descriptive name, such as "All jobs".

  5. Click OK to save the search filter or view.
