Reference > Containers > Container Searches

The Container Search page supports two types of search: barcode search and property search. In a barcode search, users can search for containers using all or part of the container's barcode ID or receipt lot number, or by asset number or serial number for equipment containers. In a property search, users can search for containers by the value of a specific property. Search results are limited to those containers in locations to which the user has inventory group view access.

This search returns all containers whose value for any of the specified properties matches the search text.

Any container that matches any of the property searches is included in the search results.
