Perform a General Search

You can perform a general search for users, devices, groups, or subscriptions. In addition, you can search for an object by defining certain criteria. The search criteria available is dependent on the object type.

Procedure

  1. In the Home page, select the search field. The field is available for the objects listed.
    • All Fields — All objects.
    • External ID — All objects.
    • User ID — Users.
    • Access Number — Users, subscriptions, devices.
    • IMSI — Users, subscriptions, devices.
    • Object ID — All objects.

    Note: You cannot truncate search terms to search for variant forms of a term. MATRIXX Backoffice Customer Tool returns only exact matches. The search is case-sensitive.
  3. Click Search.
    All subscriptions, devices, users, and groups that either match the search parameters, or are associated with another item that matches the search parameters, are returned.
    Note: Only exact matches are returned.
    The item that matches the search term (the primary) displays in the first row with the matching field in bold. Any secondary items with which the primary item has a relationship are also listed with one of the relationship definitions listed in Table 1:
