Searching the policy tree

To accommodate customers with large numbers of items in their Policy tree, Trust Protection Platform now has advanced search capabilities. Administrators can search for specific objects within the tree as well as attributes within objects using “Starts with” or “Contains” operators.

  2. Enter a search string in the search field, then press <Enter> to initiate the search.

    You can use wildcard characters in the search string.

    By default, the search also returns any child objects as well as objects related to the search results.
