Run an advanced search for a user

Before running an advanced search, see Search for users for important information on how the search engine works and Advanced search attribute types for a complete list of user attributes you can use to create advanced searches.
You can run an advanced search for a user that includes organizational hierarchies and user attributes as search criteria.

  3. On the
    Create Conditions
    window, select the
    AND

Depending on the attribute type selected in Step 4, the third field can be a text-entry field, a drop-down list, a date field, or any other field types listed in Advanced search attribute types. Enter or select a value in the field.
    For Multi-select Picklist, Single-select Picklist, and Status type attributes, enter characters in the search box to filter the list of attribute values. You can enter characters that appear anywhere in the attribute value.
  7. Optionally, click
    Add Condition
    to add another attribute condition to the search, then repeat steps 4 through 6.
  8. Click

The search results display all users who match the attribute conditions you created.
