  2. Select the Search Options icon .
  3. Select Advanced Search.
  4. Tap each of the search parameters (Workspace, Property, Condition, Value) to define the search. Depending on the selection, parameter displays update to indicate the available options.
    • Tap on Workspace to select multiple search workspaces (Files, Folders, Items, Change Orders). By default, the current workspace is selected.
    • Tap on Property to select the properties for the search. The system displays all the properties from the selected workspace.
    • Tap on Conditions to select a conditional statement from the Condition list.
