How to search scenarios and save search criteria

This article will guide you through how to search for scenarios and how to save your search criteria for easy application in both local and remote workspaces on Autify.

How to search for scenarios

You can search the scenario list by combining the following conditions. These conditions are treated as an AND search.

• Keyword search: In the search bar, you can search by entering text for the scenario name or Scenario description. Additionally, you can refine scenarios in detail based on specific attributes like updated date or window size by writing a search query. For usage instructions, see the "Advanced Scenario Search" section below.

• Directory: Filters by the directory where the scenario is stored. Only one directory can be selected at a time.

• Labels: Filters by the labels assigned to the scenarios. Multiple labels can be selected.

Performing a basic scenario search

1. Navigate to the scenario list screen in the workspace.

2. Specify your criteria by entering a keyword in the search bar, selecting a directory, or clicking the "Labels" button to the right of the search bar to select labels.

3. Once the conditions are specified, the scenario list automatically updates to display the matching scenarios.

Advanced Scenario Search

This page explains how to use query parameters available in the scenario search field. Using this feature, you can refine scenarios in detail based on specific attributes like the scenario's last updated date and time or window size.

Query Parameter Types and Usage

You can create a search query by combining the following query parameters and specified formats.

The updater filter key will only work for scenarios updated after this feature is released on October 15th 2025.

Combining Multiple Filter Keys

You can specify multiple filter keys in combination to perform complex searches. The following rules apply to combinations:

• Different filter keys (e.g., updated and window) are combined using an AND condition.

• If you specify the updated key multiple times, all conditions must be met (an AND condition).

• If you specify the updater and window keys multiple times, any one of the conditions must be met (an OR condition).

For example, if you enter the following query:

updated:>=2025-01-01 updated:<2025-07-01 updater:foo updater:bar window:1280x720

The system will interpret that query as:

(updated:>=2025-01-01 AND updated:<2025-07-01) AND (updater:foo OR updater:bar) AND window:1280x720

How to save search criteria

You can save a specific combination of search criteria (keyword, directory, and labels) as a Saved search for quick use later.

1. Perform the search you wish to save.

2. Click the "Save this search" button that appears below the search bar.

3. The "Save search" dialog box will open. Enter a name for the saved search in the input field.

4. Click "Save."

5. A confirmation message that the search was saved will be displayed.

Directory or label selection is disabled while a saved search is applied. Clear the saved search to enable label or directory filtering.

How to apply a saved search

You can quickly apply your saved search criteria to the scenario list.

1. Click the Saved searches button at the top of the scenario list screen.

2. The Saved searches dialog box will open, displaying a list of your saved searches. Select the one you want to apply from the list.

3. Click the Apply search button to apply the filter.

4. The scenario list will be filtered, showing only the scenarios that match your saved criteria.

Only one Saved search can be applied at a time.

How to remove or delete a saved search

Removing an applied saved search

To clear the filter and return to the original state where all scenarios are displayed:

1. Click the X mark to the left of the saved search name tag displayed below the search bar.

2. The filter will be cleared, and the full scenario list will be redisplayed.

Deleting a saved search

To permanently delete a set of saved search criteria:

1. Click the Saved searches button at the top of the scenario list screen.

2. The Saved searches dialog box will open.

3. Click the trash can icon to the right of the saved search name you wish to delete.

4. It will be removed from the list.

Sharing scope for Saved Searches in a remote workspace

Saved Searches saved in a remote workspace are shared with all users in that workspace.

If a search is deleted, it is also deleted for all other users within the workspace.
