Table Of Contents

l Name – Name of the data entity property to group the search results by

l Order – Group the search results for this data entity property in a specific order (e.g.

Ascending or Descending)

Note

By default, comparison conditions in search rules are evaluated alphanumerically,

regardless of the type of value.

Numeric evaluation of comparison conditions is not currently supported in the

PlanetPress Connect RESTAPI.

The only exception to this rule is the ability to numerically sort or group results by

specifying sorting or grouping rules of a Data Value type.

Warning

The Entity Type selected for the search criteria can be changed during or even after

rules have been added. But because certain rules are only available for certain data

entity types, some of the existing rules in the search criteria may become incompatible.

In situations where incompatible rules are found in the existing search criteria, you will be

prompted to confirm the change of entity type. If you then proceed with the change of

entity type, any incompatible rules found in the existing search criteria will be removed.

Once the search criteria is constructed, and the required inputs populated, simply select the

Submit button. This will submit the request to the server and display the search criteria

specified as input to the Results area in JSON Search Parameters format.

The result will then be returned as a list of Data Entity IDs which will be appended to the

Results area in both Plain table and JSON Identifier Lists (with Sort Key) formats.

To construct a new search criteria, the Reset button can be selected. This will reset the form,

removing all existing rules.
